i disaagree, im on 18x8 CE28N (14.7lbs) with 245/35 (20.1lbs) (close to stock height) and they weigh the same as the 225/40 (20.2lbs) of the brand i use (continental DW) per tire for a total of 34.8lbs on my scale. stockers were 42lbs by my scale. unless you wanna run a 245/40 you shouldnt be to worried extra weight, slightly more rolling resistance however

the original weds tc105n in that size are about 17.1lbs and are plenty strong.

I didn't have enough time to read the whole thread, but I checked their website and googled and couldn't find any retailers that carry "Phat Fux".

I went with the same size as Futures 225/40/r18 and no sir the rce yellows work very well, no rubbing at all
Would a drop that's half an inch more cause fitment issues..like sportlines with same tire specs

I don't see the +20 fitting very well unless you're running a stretched tire and mucho camber.

I am looking into the Ballzy in 18x9 +35 and would like to fit 255/35s on it with stock springs. I think I may have to go with a 245/35 or narrower.

I don't think there would be a problem fitting the +20s. Just asking if anyone had gone that route..

not at all... actually I had a prototype version of the Fortune Auto coilovers, and couldn't go lower... I now have the real parts, and the brz will sit about an inch lower very soon.
