I've got an '04 5AT coupe with the 18" performance wheel and tire package (so no Brembos), with stock suspension. I need new tires, and I'm considering getting new everyday wheels which would also be used for 2-4 track days each year. Currently, I'm looking at the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires on Enkei RPF1s.

Here are the tire/wheel size combos I'm thinking about:

Front: 245/40/18 on 18x8.5/30
Rear: 265/40/18 on 18x9.5/15


Anyone running this combination? I'm particularly interested in the +15 offset for the rear wheels -- I've run the wheel size and offset calculators, and it seems like everything should fit, but I don't want to run into any rubbing issues on the track.

 

Buh-bump

 

I'm guessing you'll probably be okay with the +15 offset in the rear, especially with 18x9.5s. Redlude97 has 19x9.5's in back with a spacer to make an effective offset of +2, and it still fits. If you search around a bit, you may find the picture he took of the gap that's left. I'm going to be getting a +12 offset for the new rear wheels I'm getting. . .and rolling the fender.

 

You'll be totally fine. I'm running a 19x10.5 +18 in the rear.

 

Thanks, guys.
