That looks perfect. Very good choice of staggered set up and light weight wheels! Plus, better ride quality vs 19s.

I am in the process of mounting up some springs, strut bar and possibly some adjustable rear lower control arms and getting some nicks touched up. I will get more pics when I get time. Patients is a virtue

Here you go. 1" drop on H&R springs with 15mm spring pad in rear. Ride is moderately stiffer but totally tolerable. No rubbing anywhere.

I have not spent enough time really thrashing around on them yet to give a review of them at the limits of adhesion. I was hoping to hit the auto-x course for a test and tune event this weekend and mess with air pressures etc but the weather turned and I hate standing around in the rain all day picking up cones so I bailed out. For aggressive street driving though I am pleased so far. They are surprisingly quite, rain performance is great. Good feedback. The grip threshold is through the roof with the 245/275 set up so I really need to get to the track to see what they can do when I get the car sliding around at speed to give an honest review.

IMHO 236/265 set up would be adequate. You would save a little weight, get less tire "pooch" and the car would be more fun to drive if you like to chuck it around. Like I said though I have not got to explore the 245/275 set ups full potential yet.

I am considering going with 235/40-18 on the front 18x8.5 and 265/35-18 on the rear 18x10. This should be ok for just street driving, right? Tire Rack shows me a warning message when I go to purchase these tires in this size as it is not considered the right size.
Tire rack is suggesting 225/45-18 and 255/40-18. What differences would I see and feel between the two sizes if anything? TIA for all your wheel/tire guru expertise! --Chad
