I'm about to order a set of CS7s for my e85.
http://www.modbargains.com/images/Products/Alufelgen%20Wheels/Gallery/CS7/CS7%20Gallery/Alufelgen-CS7-Wheels-16.htm
I'm going with:
Front = 18"x8" with 45mm offset
Rear = 18"x9.5" with 48mm offset
I need to decide what to do about tire width.
For the rear, I'm planning 275/35/18. That seems to be the width consistently speced out for 9.5" rim. At 285 everything I have seem points to needing a 10" rim. Should I go wider/narrower? I need as much traction out of the rearend as possible (LS1 swap in near future).
The front is my big issue. I'm torn between 225/40/18 and 235/40/18. I'm trying to get the best tire/rim match here as I don't need massive footprint on the front (I don't track the car and it already handles like crazy). I'm more interested in having the most responsive frontend setup.
Advice would be grand.
