Topics combined for easier reference. Same wheels with same specs.

Would going to an 18x8 Wheel size with the +45 offset be roughly the same stance?

Can you comment on the affect of the new tires/wheels on handling and "playfulness" exhibited by the car w/ the stock rubber? My FR-S didn't come with the Prius tires but the ones that did come on it don't have much grip either. I am concerned about losing the fun factor that you get w/ the less grippy tires.

Summers on the car, finally (no thanks to mother nature!)
RPF1 17x8 + 45 and 224/45/17 Dunlop Z2's all around. The wheels were powder coated as close a colour I could match up based on samples to the limited matte bronze enkeis.
