Gram Lights 57c6

Getting these for my frs with bc coils, 18x8.5 offset +45 front and 18.9.5 offset +40, wondering the cons, also wondering what size tires from hanhooks v12s.
Thank You very much, any advise or opinion would be grateful

Well, how much do those wheels weigh, about 20 something each right? Same with mine..and to be honest, other than off of acceleration (from a stop) I did not notice a thing power response wise. Traction was increased, which was nice, it gave me more confidence in less than ideal road conditions (you know, simply wet, dirty, dusty) but I think that could also have had happened with a 8" wide rim and better quality tires than what we have stock.

I have a turbo now, plus I was tuned with a full exhaust and such before, so I always had some power adders - I really do not notice the wheels - though I am sure my ride is a bit bumpier now than it ever was . This will be addressed down the road with something better than lowering springs.

You will love the look of your car, 57c6 are a gorgeous wheel

This will help you out too
18x9.5 +40
Hankook Ventus V12 255/35/18

No sizing for 8.5" in this thread yet, but again, would most likely be 235 and I guess 40

I have 235/40/18 on with Hankook V12 for an 8.5 and it is probably what you're looking for.
