    shopping around for some new wheels and i was just curious about your suggestions for tire size. the wheels are 18x8 and i have the choice between a +45 or a +35 offset. the questions is which offset would be best and what tire size would look best. id like to go as wide as possible without rubbing obviously. my intensions are to lower the car with some coilovers, just enough to remove the wheel gap. and id like to throw some spacers in the back cuz i like big butts.

    so with all that info said, which offset is best and what tire size is best for my intended application?

    Sticky ones from Dunlop, Michelin and others. It all depends on what your budget is?

    The Michelin PSS are great tire and they have very low if any noise verses a Run Flat or a track tire. They wear better than Extreme Summer tires like the Dunlop DII's and are great in the rain. They handle a little less (very little) that other extreme tires but they are great all around. You will like them 1000 time better than any run flat tire.

    ^ all that AND the PSS have a 30,000 mile warranty. I just had my third set installed.
