Ok I need to find out from anybody who has this setup on a STOCK SUSPENSION.
I plan on going 275/35's all around on 18x9.5 +20 wheel. I know i'll be fine in the back, but wanted to make sure if I'll rub or not in the front under hard cornering at the track.
Thanks!
edit: From my search, yes i did search, it seems like I will rub. So maybe 265/35 is better?

Fixed: Why don't you go more bigger in rear.
A: I do not think it will rub with stock suspension.
Edit: i just read it's for track set up.

Considering the proper size rear tire 275/40 doesnt rub , there will be no prob with 35's in the rear. Is this a track set up , please say it is , causy it will look goofy on the street with tiny rear tires.

I have 275/35 in the front and 275/40 both on 18x9.5+15. I'm on stock suspension no rubbing.
275/35 is going to have a fat wheel gap in the back with stock suspension.

Hmmm.....I think I'm thinking the wrong way.....initially I wanted a setup that would be awesome at the track and look good/drive well on the street. Well I think the reason this is so frustrating is that you can't best of both worlds huh?
So I might just go with 275/40 RR and 255/40 FR and then eventually get a set of dedicated track wheels/tires.
I lose the neutrality and the ability to swap tires, but I'm just getting into track driving so I won't be hardcore for a couple years.

Ok so I just talked to tirerack and the the guy pretty much flipped when I told him I was considering +20 offset.
I told him my car is probably 75-80% street and 20-25% track. For this year at least.
He told me to go with this setup:
275/40/18 RR 9.5" +30
245/40/18 FR 8.5" +30
I'm wondering if that's too conservative

Theres plenty of people running a +20 or less off set.
With 275/40's in the rear on a 18x9.5 +15 its pretty flush.
+30 will be pretty sunk in.
I still wouldn't rule out the square set up right away.

im runnin 275/35-18 KDW2's on my Nismo wheels...theyre like a +24 offset? you'll be fine :P
the guy from tirerack was born without a set...he just doesnt want to suggest anything completely different from OEM, cause if you change the car it will obviously explode into flames :P . Non-staggered took mine from noticeable understeer to fairly neutral handling on the limit, better braking overall/more bite/more stability, more responsive turn in. best thing i've done to my car aside from the 4.08/LSD
and once you have a couple track events you'll get "hardcore" really quick ^_^

Tomorrow if I remember I'll post pics of +35 and then spaced w/ 15mm spacers to +20. You'll be fine. I'm not dropped however and am installing S-Tech's in the next few days....it could change then but I doubt it.
