i have the option to get the TS06 in 18x9.5 +34 for front. i would run a 265/35 tire....

what im worried about tho is rubbing the inside of the wheel well, on the inner wall of tire/wheel... and not clearing a BBK in the near future

and i really dont want to run spacers..

There is nothing wrong with quality wheel spacers. I just suggest upgrading to quality extended studs, hell i would do that even if you don't run spacers.

Some people will say to just do the 9.5 +15 up front with the 275/35, that will work but you have to run more camber than actually needed to make it work (street compound tire ie NT05, Star spec etc etc).

Best and cheapest combo 17x9.5 +18 with 275/40-17 front and rear.

If you must run 18's, Enkei has NT03's in the optimal offset for the track, its also a very popular wheel at the track.

Not to jack this thread but does has anyone run the 17x9.5 +18 with stock camber settings front and rear? From what I can tell (from this thread, thanks guys) -3 degrees will give you the clearance, but I'm trying to run a stock camber setting (so I don't take a penalty in our Solo series up here in Canada). I'll likely be running 255/40 all round at stock ride height. Has anyone run stock camber with the +18 offset?

Alternatively would it make more sense to run the +38 with a 10mm spacer, at stock camber, and would it clear the brembos?
