I decided the Cosmis racing wheels were too close to the caliper for comfort. Also had rubbing issues over bumps.

18x8.5 +32 konig ampliform in dark grey.
245/40/18 Nitto NT05 tires

Looks great, what's the front caliper clearance like? I originally wanted these in 9.5 wide +35 but can't be bother dealing with the rubbing issues.

I haven't measured, but there's close to a half inch or so at the closest point. Nowhere near close enough for issues

Just put some 245/40/R18 Viking Contact 7

R mode steering feels like comfort now and comfort is unbearably light

Grip is great, hooks in 2nd no problem with 520nm tq which was suprising lol

But for some reason it feels slow. Stock conti, it would push be back in my seat , with these tires, not at all but I can see its pushing out 26psi of boost o_O

Well you did just put winter tires on your car... They aren't going to hook like summer tires...

It does hook though lol

Hondata traction control doesn't turn on and it pulls with 26PSI (tapering down to 24) to redline
