Watch out for those curbs! I love the look of the wheels, but they are sticking out quite a bit past the tire...

Rota G Force 18x9 +35 Falken 452 235/40/18

Car is 100% stock other than the wheels so far...

Only put 10 miles on the tires on the way home from my shop and here are my reviews so far.

Tires are 235/40/18 Falken 452 300AA (measuring the actualy tread its about 250mm not 235... but whatever thats normal for brands to give slightly different numbers

Compared to stock michelan primacys these tires are very grippy even in the wet weather we have right now.
These tires create a but load of road noise but whatever.
Steering feels pretty much the same, maybe a hair heavier at the most, but hard to say in the 10 miles i've driven it

I will go for some Koni's when they come out but until then she will be riding stock ride height, and the front camber will make the tires look about perfect in my opinion.

So far no rubbing at all wheel locked both ways and over speed bumps... nothing

Anyway here is some pics

I ordered mine about 2 weeks after Moto fitted his coilovers and I asked RS*R in the states for the same spec as Moto before the "Moto spec" was offered. I haven't adjusted anything as of yet. They are as they were sent from Japan. The approx 30mm comment is what the suspension techs told me when I asked roughly how much lower the car is but they didn't really measure anything.

Tyre width or height?

Either way it's not going to happen! ;P
Wider tyres will kill steering feel and heigher profile will kill acceleration and resposiveness and also add waaaay too much weight that I'm not willing to live with! lol

I shall call it Frank.

Be it known, that henceforth, this wheel shall be referred to only as "Frank!"

I can do the other three, if need be.
