18" Wheel Thread

[Ckg_z4ch]

Hello not trying to hijack this thread but I would like to know if h and r sport springs would be ok and not have too much of a wheel gap if I go from comps to 18s I was looking to purchase some bbs ria and run 305s or 295s on the rear the wheel would be 11 width in the rear and 10.5 up front with a +22 offset in the front and a +37 offset in the rear. I just really don’t want to spend the money and be dissapointed by the wheel gap if it’s terrible please help. That’s how the car sits now image attached! All inputs will be greatly appreciated !!

Would like to stick with Michelin MP4S tires if possible & prefer a square/no stretch sidewall look.

Reply with photos if you have them!!

Thanks

275/35 works upfront I seen some do 285/35 too but need a lot of camber. Rear I run 295/35 on an 11 and it has a very slight stretch a 295/30 might stretch a bit more since the sidewall ain’t as tall

Looks great! what suspension are you on?

also, I have DB RIA's in the same specs and running rt615k+, looking at your IG, looks like you had those tires before the ECS02? if so, how would you compare them?

i have lots of tread on the rt615ks still but feel like the ride quality is getting really annoying lately.

EC are more stable in all weather conditions, quieter, and less noisy. Overall more comfy and still has really good dry performance. Also really good in the wet too.

615s were very noisy and got really uncomfy near end of its life. The dry performance was amazing and felt a lot stronger in corners or doing pulls.

Since I daily my car I'd stay EC but if i didnt id go for the newer 660s that falken has.
