To follow up on my last couple posts, I got the wheels and they fit perfectly!
As a reminder, this is a 2003 3.0 6-speed on stock suspension. Wheels are Aodhan LS002 in 19x8.5 F and 19x9.5 R +35 all around. Tires are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 in 225/40/19 and 255/35/19. They're an inch taller than stock for a non-M, but the same overall diameter as M's. IMO they fill out the arches beautifully at stock height, and still maintain a decent sidewall to keep the comfort up. Only issue I've had is a slight rub on the front wheel well plastic on the wheel well lip at about the 10 o'clock position. It will be a very easy fix with a slight trim. Anyways, I'm pretty stoked on them! Most likely will get a coating of black plasti dip in the not too distant future. |

Really going to be limited by your suspension and alignment. For stock, I think a high performance summer tire in 225/255 on 8.5" mid 30's offset and 9.0" high 30's to 40 offset rear is best bet.

https://konigwheels.com/wheels/flow-...els/hypergram/ The bore is a little off, but a 5mm hub ring should be the ticket. 35 offset all around. Front 18x8.5 235/40r18 Rear 18x9.5 265/35r18 From the research I've done these should be a nice little sweet spot. They are smaller than my 19s which don't rub anymore since I've raised the car. Last year I won a limbo competition and then proceeded to raise the car so I could drive it hard again. |

As for the rear, my theory was more rubber = more grip. I'm ok with some under steer to keep myself safe as a new 'track' driver. Especially since the goal will be to up power in the (ideally) near future. |

No rub right? (pretty sure but would like to confirm )
I'm also heavily considering the Ultraform which is only about half a pound heaver per wheel but I'm more confident on brake clearance. The only problem is the offsets are now a little wacky. 18 x 8.5 38mm offset front 18 x 9.5 36mm offset rear Thoughts? Last edited by 3GFX; 01-24-2018 at 01:17 PM.. |

I always thought I would like a 10mm spacer on the front for a bit more flush look.

I've been crunching tons of numbers at the moment. Comparing to my stock 18" sport wheels and 19" Rotiform setup. I'm going to pull the trigger on the ultraform as the weights and prices aren't that different but the offsets get me a little more clearance where I want. Since this will be my track setup I don't mind a little more clearance to the fender, even if its only 1mm. hehe

Any handling Issues?
Have not read much regarding how the varying wheel size and offsets may have changed the handling characteristics of their cars (good or bad) where spirited driving is involved, any thoughts?
I can say just ditching the runflats on the front of my standard 17" wheels helped a great deal, Im looking to go for the 313 style staggered 9x19" 39 offset on the rear and 8x19" 37 offset on the front but not at the expense of the handling or behaviour issues. |

Sticking to overall factory diameter would certainly help but now your rear tires are taller than your fronts

I used the exact same tire sizes for years on lowered suspension with zero rub up front and only slight rub over severe road dips in the rear.
Only difference from your wheel specs was I had et35 in the rear. Your et40 spec should be perfect IMO

But your lowered setup also introduced camber which actually helped. His rears should be fine but 235/40 will be slightly too tall and rub the front liners.

The OP would not need to add too much camber for the 235 to fit without issue

Also agree, should only take -1.2 to -1.5 degrees to avoid any rub
