Looking on TireRack, might want to read up on the BFG G-force, they look fairly decent.

BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S PLUS

I ran A/S on the Honda once, they were Yokohama's and awful, so I've steered clear from doing it again.
Thanks. The contis are higher reviewed on tirerack and seem to have more praise on here as well with our car, so will probably end up with them. My CE28ns aren't going to arrive for 6 months, so I have some time to fully decide lol.
The BFG G-force aren't as highly rated as either the Michelin or Contis so might avoid them.

I'm on some older cheaper Falken A/S now so either way probably will be a noticeable improvement.

I think the Conti's will serve you well, I've never had an issue with them.

Thanks for all the help. Excited to have a better looking and better performing setup. Now the waiting game.

Currently running a 17x7.5 and 17x9 setup with a pretty tame OEMish offset, no fender roll. Wanted to go more aggressive and about to buy Ce28n.
Just got my CE28n+ after a 6 month wait -- 17x7.5 +48 & 17x9 +61 running 215/245 stock size Michelin Pilot Sport -- lowered 1.5" on Bilstein PSS9 - no fender roll/no rubbing.

Congrats! Looks really good. Very clean. Is that the shining bronze color?

That's the recommended OEM setup (#1 in my post), and the setup that I was originally going with that, but I decided I wanted a little more poke. Similar side profile, but more noticeable when looking at the car from the front or back. But then again I plan to roll, and it would be necessary. Hopefully I'll have them by May.

Update below. Next up, coilover install and alignment in the next week or two.
Went with 17x8 +38 front and 17x9 +45 rear as I mentioned. Really happy with the fitment, so much better looking than the stock setup in terms of flushness with the body.
