Interested to see how 18X9.5's actually handle after this upgrade. The 245/35's up front are extremely close to the stock spring because its so wide. People will probably argue 18X9.5 up front is too wide. I've been having a blast so far, but I'm also not pushing it extremely hard because I don't want it to rub on a very hard corner without coilovers.

Ultimately, my car is a DD, cars and coffee, and spirited driver car. I aim for a little bit of everything in each upgrade. If I was purely track, I'd be doing 17X8 or 17X9, no doubt. That is something I may consider in the future.

Thanks for this helpful post. I wish I would have ready this earlier. Lots of important information.
Same setup here but with meatier tires 255/35. Should receive my tarmacs tomorrow also 280/280. Can't wait, installed the ht auto kit and the lip scrapes on my drive way. It should be interesting once I lower it lol
