What is your setup exactly if you don't mind me asking

Wheels = 18x9½" +15 Enkei RPF1
Tires = 265/35/18 Bridgestone RE-01

When I replace those tires, I'll probably go with 275/35/18.

How about your camber? Are you rubbing with this set up?

Car is not lowered. Front camber around -1.5º, don't remember what rear is set to. No rubbing. Based on posts in the Autocross/Road forum, this setup fits with 275 tires and no rubbing.

I knew I had a pic somewhere - 285/30/18 on 18x10 RPF1s with +38 offset (with extended studs and real spacers):

I would probably go with the exact same specs but in 17". Enkei's are light, relatively inexpensive, available in wide range of width and offsets.

So you are running a stock suspension and have a camber kit?

Looks like he uses koni yellows w/ stock springs, but I am not 100% sure on that.

No camber kit. 03threefiftyz guess correctly on the shocks. Hotchkis sways, Powergrid adjustable endlinks, stock springs. I used to do a lot of autocrossing in the stock class so that limited what I could change.
