Ive stretched 215 40 atr sports on 18x9 and 18x9.5 just fine. If anything ....can even stretch on 18x10 should the need arise
Daniel goes to sd tires in Escondido ... those guys arent exactly the best at what they do. If he went thru my guy (whos been working at discount tires far too long for his own good) ... then this wouldn't be an issue for mr kingphilip

ever since i bought my 97 5spd i'v been looking for a new set of wheels for the car, and recently have been debating what tires to use. this car will be na-t soon, and im shooting for only 375ish to the wheels (bc im keeping stock compression). I see a few people here are using the ACHILLES ATR tires, and i'm wondering how good they are. according to the American Pacific Industries website, the company focuses on individual strengths for each of their brands to maximize efficiency with the factories they are contracted with. but there is not much more info about them.
so my question is, how do these hold up? how is the grip in wet and dry? the price is cheap so im tempted, but idk if i should get these tires or spend a few more bucks and get Falken FK452's
im thinking 235/40/18f and 265/35/18r

THA GOOD:
*cheap
*acceptable grip - wet and dry (without compromising safety, but then again I grew up in the tropics, so I'ma very well rounded in driving in heavy rains and such and such...)
THA BAD:
*loud
*wears fast
*thinner than other brands when stretching
MY CONCLUSION AFTER USING SEVERAL SETS:
Save up for Falkens or something similar for another $200 difference per set, and last longer and stretch better.

But regarding you stretching on your Subi, is incomparable to SC's. Light weight car vs. heavy weight car. Remember, the more you stretch the lower the weight the tire can handle. I'm not saying Achilles is a bad brand, I'm just saying I wouldn't recommend extreme stretching on them.

I'm about to order some XXR 530 Chromium black F 18X8.75 with +20 offset R 18x9.75 with +20 offset. I will be on stock ride suspension for now. Which tires do you guys recommend if I plan on adding coilovers in the near future?

Just deal with it for a little bit more. Save money until you can get everything - coilovers, wheels, tires, and an alignment. Then fit everything up. It's better to exercise some patience now as opposed to jumping the gun on some 18's only to ride high in the sky for who knows how many months until you get coilovers.... appearance-wise it'll be no different than running on your ghetto 20's you have right now LOL

Not really sure for what width you're gonna use those specs of Achilles, but just to answer your question;

*cheap

Thank you for all the input, guys! As far as my wheel choice, though, id love a set of Work Meister's but the used ones i see for sale are very aggressive, and i dont want to run too much camber or stretch just to fit them. Plus, they're expensive as ****. Hence why im leaning towards the XXR CCW reps. I think the chromium black would look good with my pearl green SC

well, i dont plan on running any stretch. I will most likely be getting the XXR 531's in 18x8.5 and18x9.5 +20 offset with 235/40 and 265/35 tires. I want it to look good but to also grip well.
I have Fk452 on my SC400 now, and i like them. But the ATR's are cheaper, so i was just wondering from a performance point of view, whats the best bang for your buck tire.

Coincidentally, I'm running FK's on my Work Meisters. And to be blunt - the reason why they're "expensive as ****" is partly because of wheel quality... and partly so I don't have to say that I'm rolling on "reps" (which is just someone's idea of a politically correct way to say "copied/fakes") LOL

FK452's are the best bang for the buck IMO. I've tried a lot of different tire brands yet I always went back to the FK's.

Raine, your Meisters are beautiful. I love then custom color. I need to find some in 18" though.
Whats a reasonable price to pay for a set?

I've seen used 18" sets run for around $1800 for the 1P, $2200-ish for the 3P... but it always varies. Usually when you have the money to buy, it's a pain to find the right fitment. But when you don't have the money yet, a bunch of nice sets pop up in the classifieds LOL
