I'd go
RZ front 18x9.0 +45*
RZ rear 18x10.0 +35*

What are you dropped on? for reference I had a 255/35/19 on a 19x10 and it was barely a stretched. The rear will look somewhat aggressive and the front will have a stretched look depending on what tire you have as some tires run wider than others.

interesting, because according to michelin's website:

http://www.michelinman.com/tires/ult...ps2/93617/?tsv

for 225/40-18's, the rim width range they recommend are 7.5" to 9".

i guess each manufacturer has different recommended standards, no?

your opinions don't count. j/k.

i was making a personal recommendation (imo you gotta be a brave SOB to run 255/35 on 10.5, but that's just me), certainly not saying it's the end-all of the discussion.

that, and i'm just amusing jenn.

That's because you're comparing different sizes. We were discussing the rear wheel, which uses a 255/40/18 - not the front which wears a 225/40/18.

Bro how would I be a brave SOB? look at that picture there isnt a stretch at all... IMO you'd have to be brave to run a 235/40... like this (on a 10.5)






but again I usually run a 245/35, not even 40 series tire, thats why im so confused, there isnt anything to be brave about it wont fail on you.. its been proven in the 50k+ miles ive driven between 3 cars and all different sorts of driving conditions from UT, AZ, nor-cal trips and so-cal trips....


that picture above that I posted on the white SC is when you have to be brave

another side shot to see there isnt anything to be worried about, the LS on the left, skye's IS300 on the right (245/40 on a 9.5) and that sc "the brave sob" in the center

Haha wow, well thank you thank you all for the responses

Jason-- all I can say is that you now wear the crown for asshattery for mixing up the numbers

Nick-- Wow, you had a picture of a 2IS with RZs!! I seriously tried googling for an hour looking for a 2IS (not an ISF) with RZs and no luck! Thanks for posting it, gives me a nice idea of what she will look like

David and Javy -- thanksssss so much I feel better now about getting them haha I was freaking out at first thinking I was going to either drive on a wheel/tire setup that wasn't safe for a daily driver, OR have to settle for some really weak wheel specs

gc86 -- I'm dropped on Tein S-techs, so not a super aggressive drop, but just enough to rid the wheel gap

You guys are awesome Thanks thanks!!

I know I'm a bit late. You should get 18x9 and 18x10 with +35 offset all around. Good luck.
