thanks for the help fellas, but how about the offset will that work for the fronts? I guess for me the main concern is the front a 19X11 +15 will that fit no problem up front, also going slammed so will 265/30/19 be better and 275/35/19 rears be better?

275/35 square , speedo will be accurate, and the fronts will rub the top of he well.
275/30 square, front will be perfect sized, rear is short and speedo will be off.

^^ I cannot argue with your statements, which are correct.
I mention using the rear sizing rather than the front for an all-square setup from personal experience. I run an all-square snow tires setup with my VDC–equipped 2003 Performance Model. I had problems running all-square front sizing; I didn’t have problems using rear all-square.

I have an '03 touring 5 speed with stock suspension and stock wheels/tires
been looking for new wheels for a while and just came across a set of 4 18x9.5 with 15 offset
pretty sure 275 would not be ideal with this offset, so what's my best option? 245 35 front and 245 40 rear? or should I go with 255?

what's the advantage to having the larger tires btw? and did you throw in a spacer on the rear?

I'm guessing you mean the rear fenders would need to be rolled to fit the spacer or did you have to roll them to fit the tires?

18x9.75 +20 all the way around with 265/35 all the way around. No issues with vdc or rubbing but I'm on stock suspension. Sure does look a lot better and handles better than the stock setup.

Hello, I'm thinking to place a order for a set of TE's SL square setup, I'm thinking 10.5 +12 all around with toyo R888 in 265/30 or something like this.. The think is I'm doing some track days sporadically and I would like to know if this setup would be fine for track, I know the ideal one is 18" but just I like more how it looks like with 19". Sould I get another set for track? If so wich ones do u recommend me? Also wich sizes?

19x10.5 +22 I do not guarantee to fit, I know 18x10.5 +22 does, but it is close to the spindle. 19's could touch.

Making the fronts and backs the same
Can anyone share what size rim(and offset) and tire size would work without effecting the computer, and still look decent on my '05 roadster? I drive very conservatively, and want to be able to rotate the tires to get decent tread wear. The car has 225/45/18 on the front, and 245/45/18 on the rear. The car has 25,000 miles on it, I bought it a year ago, drive it daily, original front tires, I had to replace the rears just after I bought it, and they are bald in the centers and need to be replaced already.(10,000 miles) I need to do better than that! I don't have a problem changing to a 16" or 17" size.

^^ You might have missed his point/question. I think Tom wants to rotate his tires. If that is the case, all four tires must be the same size. He's asking the best overall diameter to go with when swapping front with rear.
