18x 10 in the rear *getting new track wheels possibly* ideal offset

also, do you have a current pic of your rims? I can't remember what it looked like at the final suspension settings.

handling can be thrown in so many directions if you dont research enough. fundamentally, from my go kart/track experience, usually wider front track can lead to oversteer and wider rear track leads to understeer. its all about balance and what the driver wants out of his/her car.
my personal vote would be 18x9+5 18x10 0
btw motormouth, clean and simple car-love it
thanks, soon it will be better.. coilovers, my bodykit installed... mmmm... everything clean though
and don't get me wrong, I love the low offset look like you have, but for the track... I mean, you are talking about alot of suspension compression and side loads on the tire wall...
and yeah, karting taught me the same!! wide front track and you are SPINNING hahahah... so funny.

you have +18 right? if so there is plenty of room for 285/35, 295 and you may have to roll your fender.

thanks
thanks
. And you should go with the -25 
Get the +15.
The lower you are the better the aggressive offset is, just rememeber to roll your fenders though.
With my time attacks, the rear coilovers are adjusted to the lowest setting and this is a 19x10.5 +22 offset and the rims rubbed against the coilover on the inside because of the sick camber from the drop. I need a spacer now to avoid rubbing on the inside. The fender is rolled and has plenty of room.
Aggressive offsets FTW!
I can't wait to put those 5 zigens on my ride Ben.

Z's love negative camber. Besides it's not too bad at this point. It only rubs when entering parking lots in weird angles. I'd rather just get a 5mm spacer and not deal with it. I've lifted the suspension for now temporarily.
