i may be leaning towards a set of 18x10+25 enkei wheels, you think 275/40/18 is too much for the front? I know its not the most aggressive offset...if its not these wheels then Im going with the more expensive option of 19x10 and 19x11 wheels from another manufacturer.

My contribution:
Enkei RPF1 in SBC on super black:
-18x9.5 +15 235/40/18
-18x10.5 +15 265/35/18
-Tires are Dunlop DZ101s
I know the tire sizes are weak, but I got a great deal on the package so I decided to go with it. Normally I'm pretty anti-stretch, but to be honest for a daily driver NA I don't mind this particular stretch all that much. I'll be mounting Rcomps on my track wheels so the point is moot anyway. For my next set I'm going to 275 or 285 rear, 265 front.
Running Koni SAs now with RSR springs, going to be cutting the rear springmount to get an extra 1/2"...per my calculations 0.5" should level everything out exactly. I'll be upgrading to coilovers so this is a temporary thing anyway.
Edit: I didn't want to post these last ones because it makes the rear gap wayyy too obvious, but what the hell. The gap will be closed once the springmount is cut.
Will post more pics once the springmount mod is done.

Wow. Those tire sizes are all wrong... not just the width either. They're also quite a bit short. Bet the car accelerates nicely due to the reduced gearing. I'd suggest a 295/35 on the rear and a 275/35 on the front next time around. But that's just my lame opinion.

Oh, and you're right on about the gearing. If I were running these tires on autoX the shorter gearing would kill me because of the 2-3 shift (which I already was having trouble with). Good thing I'm going to run R-comps on my track wheels

I'm so glad you took my suggestion as a suggestion and not as a slam. Kind of refreshing to post something here without a "keep your damn opinion to yourself" response.

Crappy pics of my gloss black Rpf1's. 10.5 +15 front and 10.5 +15 with 15mm spacer rear for a 0 offset. 265/35 all around. I love them!!!
Ill get full car pics soon. About to switch to 20mm rear spacers, lower the rear more and the whole car is getting painted.
