What should i expect running 18x10?
 
As the title states I bought a set of wheels that are 18x10 along with HKS coils to fit these wheels in there. Im planning on running 255 all the way around.... so realistically what should I expect running this wide of a wheel/tire? I know this is wayyy too much wheel for stock power but in all honesty im more so planning for FI in the future. Am I going to hate how the car feels now? Sorry if this seems like a really really dumb question! :iono:

Yeah.. Dont quote me on this but I believe it would poke just a bit in front. Might be fine in the rear. Good thing you got aftermarket coils because it would rub on the stock struts.

YOu might need to add camber and roll your fenders.

Well I know for sure someone running this exact same setup with clearance and stock fenders... only thing that was in the way was the rear brake line needed to be bent out of the way because it rubbed slightly...

should have a bit of poke both in front and rear but should be minimal (basing this on the fact I run 18x9.5 in the rear)

If you know someone who is running this exact setup than why would you ask your question? you obviously have your answer if you know exactly what was needed to get them to fit, if you haven't ridden in his car yet ask him to do so and voila you have your answer.

A car that accelerates more slowly, rides rougher, gets worse mileage, is more expensive and has worse steering feel. But hey, it'll look nice, right?

Sarcasm aside this is actually the stuff I was looking for... I can understand the fact that it will ride rougher, but what makes it have worse steering feel? and will it honestly be that significantly slower?
