Thumbs up little help with this setting

Hello

I am selling the SC with aftercooler, I was making near 300 whp. To get extra grip I bought a 18" OZ Superleggera set and a Cusco front Sway bay, 160% stiffer than stock. I have the Brembo big brake kit with NO spacers

The setting which I am using is

-18x8 ET 45 225/40
-18x9 ET 55 255/35
-UK aligement setting
-Front Sway bay 160% stiffer
-This wheels weight similar than stock.

Should go back to stock? or there is a better setting?


Thanks

Well, what do you want to do with your car? I think that would help us out some.

Street? Track? Auto-x?

My car is daily driven (70% highways) but usually I go to the track on weekends

I'd start where you are now and modify if you see the need...

If your tires don't rub, then they are not wide enough. What tires are you using? Is the engine back together?

Asura I do not understand you

Tire size are

18x8 225/40 Front
18x9 255/35 Rear


Those are the size that Tire rack recommends for this wheels. I am using S03


Engine would be stock after selling the SC

Juan, it is just my bad humor.

I am just saying you might be able to run a wider tire without it rubbing.
eg. 265/35 or 275/35 rears and 235/40 fronts.
If it rubs slightly, you can always roll the fenders a bit.

Nancy, I didn't say anything about 'scraping.'
