What coils are you on?

I'm running PSS 245's in front with the 8.5" wheels and 265's rear with 9.5's no rubbing in front, rears needed to trim the fender tabs a little, lowered 1.5" with ST coilovers.

I'm using BC BR coils (regular ones). I'm pretty sure I have more room to play up front for a bigger size tire but I don't want the extra weight.

Ok, here are my wheels just installed. im running BC Extreme coils, Enkei Raijin 18/9.5 all around, sitting on Hankook Ventus V12 245/35/18 front 255/35/18 rear.

Looks so good. congrats. I have been thinking of this set up but I am just not comfortable running that wide on four corners. How's the handling?

Thanks, the handling is great! So far i havent really gotten a chance to get crazy but i have taken some back roads home and it feels pretty good. You shouldnt worry about running wide up front, lots of people on here are and have no issues and it looks great imo.

I think my concern is more with wet weather handling... Have you had them in any type of rain, and more specifically moderate to heavy?

Thanks! And car looks AWESOME btw...

It hasnt rained here since i put them on, but we have been in the low 30's the last couple weeks and it handles these conditions just fine. Although im not pushing the car hard it still feels alot better than before on stockers

Yeah, I figured you hadn't experienced any wet weather yet but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask! Again, car looks great!
