I plan on running Enkei TS9's 18x8.5 +45 front and 18x8.5 +40 rear (staggered look yo) with 235/40 Michelin PSS all around coupled with Tein Mono Sport coils with about a 1 inch drop or just under it. (I plan on going with a complete whiteline bushing set and suspension geometry correction kit later down the road)
Is this a good pairing or am I hurting my handling characteristics? I scoured the internet for the most precise weight values and the best I could find put me at 2.3 lbs heavier per corner. I won't be running TPMS but I can't imagine that saves any weight worth mentioning. I hope to make up for that weight with a BBK later but whether or not it will clear is a completely different question.
I understand 17's would be better but the looks of 18's are my compromise and little gift to myself. Not on stock power (JRSC C38 soon as I put it on). As I go up in power I plan on running the same wheels but changing tire compound and width which is why I am leaning towards 8.5 width and not 8. Hopefully I didn't leave anything out and there is enough information to go on. Thank you in advance for any advice as I don't know anything about suspension tuning.
