Fitment, I'm most interested in is 18x8 or 18x8.5 like you suggested, I don't want staggered since it's harder to whip the rear of the car out. I definitely want to lower the car, either with springs for now and then later with a GREAT suspension setup...that will be $$$ I might just bite the bullet and get Cusco or KW at some point.


How would ADVAN RS2's with 235/40/R18 look? Thoughts?

Thanks again for the helpful post, I'm still confused though, mostly due to my own indecision haha
I'm down in Miami. If you ever come down, we can meet up.

I run Racecomp Engineering Tarmac 0's. Love them. They don't go super low, but plenty enough for me - again, I wanted a functional setup. I was undecided between those and kw v3's for a while but realized, again, I'm just going to set it and forget it and don't need all the settings that come along with the v3's. The T0's are made by KW suspension, with RCE's custom valving.

I also suggest against staggered setups as it prevents you from being able to rotate your tires.

I personally don't know what those wheels look like off the top of my head.

I had only seen a few other FR-S running the wheels I currently run on my car. Most weren't even the same finish, and if it was, it was on a different color FR-S. Sometimes you just gotta go for it. lol.

I haven't changed wheels/tires yet, but I'm planning on it.
That's debatable. It all depends how smart of a shopper you are and how willing you are to search for deals.
