Hey guys, I'm gauging interest in my set of wheels/tires.

Wheels are SSR Competition Semi Solid Forged 18x9 +55 Non-stagger. These are very lightweight at less than 18 lbs each. Wheels are in very good condition, just a few very tiny surface scratches. No curbs marks on any of the rims. All 4 balance perfectly. I only used these for a less than 8 months with a total of less than 5000 miles.

Tires are Federal 595 RS-R's 255/35/18. Not many people know these tires, but they are the best street tires I've used to date, no kidding. They have outstanding dry traction (treadwear 140), stiff sidewall, rides excellent without being harsh, excellent wear characteristics, and super quiet. All the characteristics I'd want in a tire. I just ran a 2:02.4 at Buttonwillow 13CW and 1:27.0 at SOW with these wheels/tires. Another fast member of this forum did a 2:01 at BW with these tires . He ran his set for 6+ days on the track and still has a couple more days left on them, so I would say that they provide excellent durability. I only had these tires for 4 months, and put about 2000 street miles and 440 track miles on them. They still have around 50% tread left. These are manufactured on the 28th week of 08 .

Looking to get $1400 OBOfor the set including tires, $1200 OBO for rims alone. New center caps and valve stem caps will be included.

Enough of the talking, here are some pics.

 

they clear BBK?

 

Not sure, but probably not... Clearance between the stock caliper is around 1/2 inch.

 

Do they rub at all? Slight fender roll all around?

 

My fenders are rolled for my other set of rims 17x9 +45, so I do not have any rubbing issues with these wheels.

They should clear the stock rears without any mods, and maybe the fronts with just a slight roll.

 

how do u like the federals on the track?

 

595RSR on my 7th track day and they still grip

i used to run 17 x 9 +55 without even rolling my fender on stock suspension and Tein SRC with -2 camber/1.5 inch drop

 

Wow that's a great price! I'd definitely get em if they were 9.5.

Good luck! Can't wait to see whats next..

 

I love them. Ran my personal best times on these tires .

 

Thanks Rob, I may end up picking up your Carbotech pads.
