Both look good to me. I'd get whatever looks best to you and then mount some track rubber on your stock wheels and auto-x on those. Auto-x on baller wheels will only mess them up from the constant mounting/dismounting of rubber.

***if you get the works, don't do staggered. the 18X8.5+20(ish) does not have the same concave look. I went 18X9.5 +20 and IMO it's perfect.

no way, thats the vagina size...18x9.5 +12 all around is perfect. even that size could use a spacer.

^^^that car is why I sold my RX-7 for a 350Z...100% serious too. I love the look, no body kit...keeps the lines, nice and low...and flush.

Oh and I would be doing +12 all around.

I have a touring model so I dont think I can run 255/35/18 all around because of VDC.....but what do I know??

So what's the perfect combination of R888 tires for the Enkei 9.5 front and 10.5 rear combo?

Did you have to roll your fenders to clear that? It looks like you're running a 245ish in the rear...so you probably didn't. But if you're running something wider, then a +12 offset w/ -2 camber may rub.

*I was running:

18X9.5 +20/22 (forget which) w/ 275/35/18, -2 camber, dropped 2.5"...I had less than 10mm clearance from the un-modified fender.
