Those look really good. But complete? Say it ain't so!
No plans to go to anything wider than 255 on the rear? You running in STR?
Once my current 255 rears are worn out, I plan on going 265 or 275 since the 9 inch width on my PF01s will allow me to. Fronts will remain at either 245 or increased to 255 once those are worn out as well.
Though I plan on keeping this car till I run it to the ground, it's time to start saving for a new shiny toy (I'm looking at the Toyota FT -1 if/when it comes into production).
Enkei PF01 wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, stock suspension
Front:
18x8.5 +35
255/35
Rear:
18x9 +35
275/35
Handling in the corners is substantially improved over the stock setup. There are a few corners/turn-ins in my area where I used to enjoy breaking the back-end loose, but the car now grips with ease. The car feels a few clicks faster from a dig too, probably due to both increased traction and the reduced rotational mass.
I've had a tiny bit of rubbing up front when turning the steering wheel all the way at very low speeds, like in parking lots and such. I noticed the plastic inside the front fender is a bit loose and flappy. I'll address that this weekend and it should take care of it. There should be plenty of clearance for this setup. I think the fender plastic has some broken fasteners that need to be replaced, but I need to get up in there and get a better look.
