okay....so I been thinking, maybe I should try and go with 17 first, thinking of 17x9 +30 or +22, will these be more driving friendly? I seen some people have this kind of set up and they use it to track their car, I put a lot of thoughts on it, I can have the flush look while maintaining the drivablity of the S. Good idea? and so would fitting these be much easier then the set up i posted earlier?

+30 or +22 is still pretty aggressive for a 17x9. You will still have to pull the fronts pretty good though. In my opinion i think 17x9's +45 in 255's have a really nice flush to it but no less than a +38. It all depends on what kind of look you want. I like the beefy look and you may like the stretch look with skinny tires. I like to drive through twisty mountain roads and where as you may not. It's hard to say what you consider "driver friendly." All of us have a different perspective on this.

i barely drive but i want to be able to drive it more then the 18x10 set up where i would have to worry about camber eatting up my tires. im going to do a little more research into this as well, about rolling and pulling i will definitely get them done, but i was thinking more like, if i run 17x9 +30, it would fit more nicely then the 18x10, flush look but less camber is what im trying to go for, i want most of my tires touching but still be able to hold down the flush style. to me suzuka doesnt look good with meaty tires....its a hard color to make it look good.....i can't just slap anything on the car and it will look as good as other color would. :\

if you dont care about the weight of the wheels then get the 18 inch and it will look much nicer with those low profile tires.
