A centimeter above the pavement is a great place for an authentic veilside product.

Guys, on Weds site they mention "Height of Hub Clearance (mm)" for the different disk options:

Is that the distance from the inside of a wheel spoke to the hub's mounting surface? Basically how far the caliper sticks out from the mounting surface of the brake rotor then add a couple mm of clearance?

Far from textbook for this thread, but this is as aggressive as I want my car to be.

I've read through this thread multiple times but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Can you guys recommend some tires for my semi-aggresive wheels? I have a set of 18x10.5 +15 ES1's square. I daily drive my car, no drifting or racing. I was thinking either 255/35 all around or 235/40 all around. What would be a good set-up with a bit of stretch but still be practical. BTW I plan to eventuallly lower it on coilovers with rolled fenders no pull.

Thanks in advance.

You'll notice that the stretch varies a little since they're different brands. Good luck!

I plan on lowering it as much as I have to, to get rid of any tire fender gap. I was also planning on running a rear spacer, +15. Good to know. Thanks

Not aggressive at all for the rear, that's standard aftermarket setup. You can run 285/35s and have room to spare. Look on the Enkei thread and more than half the wheels there are 18x10.5 +15.
