I had them installed. The fronts were too much work for me. ?

I'm crazy excited to be able to finally post on this thread. I'm surprised how good they look even at stock height. Will lower at some point... but for now loving the look and also the ride! Thank you for everyone posting on this thread - helped me decide on the wheels, specs, and tires.

Stock height. TE37SL 18x9.5+38 Flat Black. Michelin PS4S 265/35.

Any suggestions on Fifteen52 Apex 18*8.5 wheels look amazing and weights only 24.2 lbs. Will gain some weight in rubber by down sizing I guess. Retails for $329.

Hey guys ! I will receive my wheels next week.

They are 18x9.5 +38 and I'm looking on 595 RS-PRO which are apparently known to be very large. Do you think I can go with 265/35 or it will rub ? Maybe 255/35 ?

I have 255-40s riding on Michelin Pilots summer tires and the ride quality is superb. I was glad to make the change from the OEM rubber bands and never looked back. From what I understand if you lower the car on springs 265 works best.

I went from 255/40/18 PS4S to 265/35/18. One thing I noticed right away is the response to turn in got better. The 40 sidewall helps fill the gap a little better, but looks fine with either tire I think.

Hi ! Thanks for your replies guys.

I want to go with 35 because there is a lot of choice for trackday tires, expecially on Europe.

About the RS-PRO, I wanted to know if they would pass without rubbing (Because the 265/35 seems more like 275). I can buy them $110 each ?

The 265 should clear just fine without rubbing. I had the 255s and didnt rub at all, they were a tad wider than my 265 Yoks. A buddy of mine runs the 265s and have no problems as well..

Also $110 each! HOOK ME UP!!!!

Yes it's a steal at that price, other brands are more like $200+
Thanks for your feedback, it's nice if even the 265s don't rub !

Rays Gram Lights 57DR 18x9.5 38
Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 265/35R18
Swift springs with front pins removed and fender tabs bent up by hand

Edit: Rubs in the rear on big bumps, rubs on the front on hard turns or full crank out of driveway. Going to run a narrower 265 next (Indy 500s). Would not recommend 38 offset with PS4S on swift springs.
