UPDATE: My car is now on BC Extreme Lows. Im running extended studs all around with 10mm spacers in the front only right now.

tire specs are

Front: 215/35/18 Kumho Ecsta AST
Rear: 245/40/18 Falken 912

I will be going with 225/40 Kumho Ecsta ASTs in the rear soon with spacers

Just got tires on my new wheels this morning and i threw them on the car. I bought them in 18x9.5 +45 square from GuerillaRacing

I knew the fronts would be very close but I actually found out they didnt fit, so I'm running 8mm spacers in the front to get about 2mm clearance of the strut base... I have some 10mm Ichibas coming in the mail and those will replace the 8mm ones.

I plan on pulling the fenders a bit to give me clearance once I get the 10mm spacers. and I will be running 10-15mm spacers in the rear but I dont have those yet either... haha... Heres how it looks for now though

What did you use to lower it? If you're still on stock struts, coilovers might give you the clearance you need.

Fantastic. I think I might get these over rpf1s... Sick look.

Im on stock struts and S Techs. I plan on coilovers but I cant afford those at the moment!

I still love RPF1s though. I was originally going to go with those... I picked up a used pair in 18x9.5 +38 from a member on here and was going to buy a matching pair from enkei but I couldnt get my hands on them.... So i got a set of kojins instead... the rpf1s will be my rear wheels for the track this summer :)

Looks amazing, thanks for the pics. The 5 spoke fits the FR-S so well.

in the rear, definitely (Jiveturkey is running 265s on 18x9.5 +40 gram light 57xtremes)... not so sure about the front ... youd have a little more clearance with coilovers so you might not need spacers... it MIGHT be possible...

Some better photos of the wheels for you guys (added to the top)
