You're comparing a Jetta to a Cayman.

So the kW are not as good. Will 245 all around work with stock suspension for now?

If you have the right offset wheel, yes

Are you running a 05+ STI hub conversion?

Man - with $5k, there's so many other options than the Raijins, especially for a track/DD car. Unless the Raijins are just for turning heads on the street and you're spending the rest on your track wheels.....

Don't get me wrong - I like the raijins too and was planning to get a set because they fit my modest budget. I only decided against them because they don't come in 17", and I don't see the benefit of 18" wheels for performance of this car, especially NA like mine. Looks, yeah. But for performance, 17" is likely better.

Anyway - with minimal budget constraints - I think you would likely be leaving a lot on the table by going with the Raijins.

No I'm not

I'd run a 5mm spacer with 255

Ok will do. So with this setup how much of an improvement will I see in handling? 255 seems pretty beefy to put up front... Wouldn't it require more steering input?

Also, these wheels only allow either a 35 or a 45. Which would be better? I believe a 35 wheel would have too much poke.
