Not too long ago I queried you guys for which wheels to get for track use. After talking with some of the members here and searching, I settled for Enkei PF01's 18x9.5 .+45 offset w/ Nitto NT05's 265x35 all around.
Front fit is tight, I'd say about 1/4" from the control arm, but after doing about 200miles and taking off the both front wheels there seem to be no signs of unusual scratches or marks created by the tight fit. I did a little bit of hard corners and spirated driving and all looks great. It also doesn't drag or scratch anything when doing a full turn either, reason why I'm writing this, is that it was so hard for me to find any information about this particular combination so for anyone looking for such setup it should now be easier to find out if this will fit or not.
Here are some pictures:
Also to me personally the car looks a lot nicer and meaner than with the 2011 OEM wheels, grip from these tires is incredible, I have a track days lined up May 16 and 17th at NJMSP if anyone is interested in going, that's with NASA North East, and thank you all for helping me out with this choice.
Great choice! I have been working on the same spec wheels for the track. Very lightweight, durable, and still a clean look overall. Plus, with it now being square, tire rotations are much easier. Looking forward to reading your insights with the wheel/tire combo on the track.
I have the same wheels. Mine are currently at the shop getting powder coated gunmetal grey. After they are finished I plan on mounting 275/35R18 Michelin PSS tires on all corners.
so glad you posted this bud. I have been thinking of doing track wheels and tires so I don't feel so bad about killing my street tires . Went through a set of PSS in 7200 miles with 4 track days. These are a great choice for light weight quality wheels . Track day gems.

Nice, will the 275 clear front? With 265's on these wheels the tires are already pretty close to the control arm, not sure 275 will make it without spacers.

Yup, thanks for helping me out I8AMBR, come down to NJMSP for some track time I try and have a spare track set on all my vehicles that I track.

All I ever drove on with my previous track cars were all square setup, so to me that is normal, what was weird is having them different sizes like on ISF. That's why I went square + easier to do rotation.

I mounted my stock 19x9 +55 ISF wheel with a 275/30R19 tire on the front with a 10mm spacer. I drove around at slow speed for a few minutes and checked the clearance at full lock both directions. There was no rubbing. That doesn't mean there wont be under hard driving, but I think I'll be ok.
Nice setup. Do you think this setup will be good for a daily driver?
It definitely is, I DD it now. Today again I took the front wheels off to see if there was any rubbing and it was clean. Front bites really nicely now, right now the car behaves really sick, crazy grip all around I even got it sideways couple times and you don't lose confidence in control. Easy to control with plenty grip and nice wear all around.
I'll get to try her out all out next weekend and I don't see anything wrong with dd'ing this setup and I would not resist doing some California canyon drives with these, insane confidence and grip!
