So I have a set of Weds Tc105N on order. Running 17x8 +42 Front (14.9lb) and 17x9 +35 rears (15.4lb). I wanted the "look" of a staggered wheel fitment with the rears filling out to near flush without the fronts poking out too much (I've noticed that if you go square, everyone has had to pretty much choose the 9's with a little poke or 8's with the rear's a little too tucking IMO).

I'm planning to run a square tire set-up though, and wanted to hear if anyone else has tried this. The plan is Nitto NT-05 in 235/40/17 to go all the way around. My thinking is this: same size tires should minimize the understeer increase caused by staggered wheels. I chose that size because the recommended wheel width for the size is 8.5, so I'm splitting the difference w the wheels. The tires are amonth the lightest I could find in the class at 22.4lb each (according to Nitto tech support, not available on their website) - putting my weight per corner in the 37 - 38 lb range.. lighter than stock with way more rubber. And this size will give me a slightly (negligable) overall diameter than the stock size so I won't screw up gearing in a negative way.

Another advantage is if I choose the forced induction route later on, it's easy to add more beef to the rear end with a set of 255's.

And staying with STOCK suspension for now. I really like the way the car feels and dont want to risk ruining the ride for the look, been down that road before. This is my daily driver, I don't need to get beaten up.

Thoughts?
