The offsets were recommended to me by HRE engineer based on the specific tires I run and my desire to have an aggressive look. I originally was going to go ET 40 in rear and they backed me off to 43. lol

Looks boss! Any camber adjustments, stock or aftermarket at all? Looks like oem alignment to me...

Nope. No adjustments. OEM alignment indeed.

Is there any 18's that would have issues fitting because of our brakes? I don't know jack about wheels, but I'm looking at getting some 18's with RE71Rs for a track/autocross set up, and finding the right wheels are the only thing from stopping me. I've had some tell me they don't think some wheels will get around the brakes, but seeing how many of you guys are running aftermarket 18's I beg to differ with that. Also, is there any more heat exposure due to less space?

Some 18s don't fit.. Apex ARC 8s were one of them off the top of my head.

Here's my addition, just got them installed.
18x9 Konig Rennforms on 275/35/18 RE71Rs for my track set up.

Running the new Hankook RS4, 265/40-18 and 295/40-18. Stock ZCP height for the moment.

Looking at the new Continental Extremecontact Sports to replace my MPSS. stock 18's on 15(f)/12(r) spacers.

I'd like to go a little wider on the rear, can I do 285/40's on the rear without rubbing with my spacers?

Or can I remove spacers and go wider all around and keep the visual effect of the spacers?

I have no issues with the spacers btw, they've been vibration free for 15k+ miles.

jgoldsmith729 · 08-28-2017, 03:23 PM

Still trying the best combo for the stock tires. I have a set of mismatched fronts and rears at the moment - fronts are the stock 255/40/18 MPSS and the rears are the 275/40/18 RE-11's. I really like the RE-11's on the rear, but the only option for the front tire on the RE-11's is the 265/40/18. Other option is to go with the MPSS's in 255/40/18 and 295/35/18 which would keep the overall diameter's close at 26" and 26.1" respectively. I want to maintain a similar ratio to stock to limit intervention from the traction control system. I've also grown to like the tall tires in back.

Any thoughts appreciated.

H&r super sports
15mm front
18mm rear
Throwing on some 305/35/r18 tomorrow

gatorfast · 09-26-2017, 06:59 AM

^ that looks great! Will 305/35 fit the factory 18" rears? Sounds like they may be a little big.

How much ground clearance to you have with the front lip? In some of those pics, it seems like very little clearance. It does look good though.

Not that much but it all depends on road, it's really not to bad

Meaty tire but man do they look squished on there. I assume a 10" wide wheel is the bare minimum to run these? Hopefully everything runs smoothly.
