Why get an 8.5 inch wheel and a 245 section tire if I can't spin the f*ck out of it, smoke the tire, and have a grand old time?

The only reason I'm not keeping the stock offset is I hate the way it looks. This is an aesthetics-only modification. All I'm doing is making sure I'm not sacrificing function for aesthetics.
I can spin my 245 MPSS on a 18x9. Stock engine auto trans.

How many other frs/brz have you driven? What tire wheel did they have?
