Just gonna start asking about this everywhere, seeing as no one is replying anywhere, and I really need to get wheels and tires ordered. I have a fully stock (stock suspension, no fender roll) 06' Base, Looking at Enkei RPF1's, wanting to go with a square set up to kill under steer, was thinking 18x10.5's with 15 mm offset, not sure what tires id have to run and if id have clearance issues, or should I run 18x10's with +38? Looking for wide tires because the car will be used for Auto X, it is also a DD and on the weekends it often ends up being a canyon runner. Coil overs and sway bars will come, so it will be lower at some point, power will come at some point too, but only after suspension. Thoughts? Ideas? Help??? Oh, also, gonna want a biittt of room for some meaner brakes, and tires I'm planning on are Michelin Pilot Super Sports

^^^ He actually ran a 10.5 square setup with 275/35 f 275/40 r, I would know because I bought the setup from him I ran them at stock height with no issues. This was the poke up front (at stock height/suspension):

How'd it feel? Just want to know your thoughts on how it effected everything I know there is room under them for brakes at that size, and I'm sure some BC ER coil overs would help too :P I'm sure it also hurts MPG's, noticeable it doing or? I'm not to worried about MPG's seeing as in my case it'll be a future track car anyway, gonna be a money pit no matter what

^^^ Felt much better than stock, more rubber to the road. And iirc the overall weight of the RPF1's/tires was lighter than my heavy stock wheels/tires. I wouldn't agree with BC coils but that's your decision. And why would it affect mpg..? 275/35 f and 275/40 r is as close to stock tire diameter as you can get, I felt no different at all in mpg at all. Honestly if you're worried about mpg you really chose the wrong platform

I've heard many say BC ER's are comparable to KWV3's, just a lot cheaper, so have been thinking about them, wouldn't bother with BR's of course, lol. And I know right? lol, above 15 mpg is fine DD'ing for me really What were your stock wheels/tires if you don't mind my asking? (I'm not so good at telling years and trims apart from just a few photos -.-)

Here she is in street form. I haven't driven this thing on the street in about 2 years. It's been a track only car for quite a while.

I actually like the 10" +38 set-up, but you'll need upgraded/longer studs for the front (should get them anyway if you are autocrossing much). Plus you can run a biggy tire (285) with a lot less worry, IMO. I ran the 305 square on my 10" +38 set-up awhile back as well when I was ax'ing a lot more.

^^^ You will need a roll in the rear if you're lowered at all or do any spirited driving.

So, I've decided on going with a 18x9.5 +15 RPF1 squared set up. Thinking 255/40 and 275/40 for tires (Michelin Pilot SS's), car is as mentioned before, stock height, for now. Thoughts? Also, what length of lug nuts to sit close to flush?? Wanting some purple Muteki's

I know it's too high but I can't lower it because of rubbing issues and after a drift event last weekend my tire wear was even.

I think you need to read through the previous pages, look at the various pics, and lower the thing.
