I run custom rpf1's in the rear that are 17x11.5 +50 with a kumhoxs 295/35/17. This tire in discontined and i will be going to a 315/35/17 nitto nt05 soon. It should fit great with my asm rear flares.

Other issue is the 315/35/17s are only available in Australia, nothing at all here so I think will have to stick with 18s, it will get far more expensive than 18s otherwise. Oh to be in the land of the free...
Have found a local supplier of 275/35/18 Hoosier R6 and 305/645/R18 Hoosier R80 used slicks which will significantly make this more achievable and affordable. Another is Falken RT615K in 315/30/18 and Horizon but never heard of them.
Heaps of range in 295 and below though including nittos.

Decisions decisions...

Leaning towards forgestar M14 custom rears 18x11.5 in 50-60 offset and probably cheap out with some 18x10.5 F14 fronts. I notice there is a 25 dollar price difference between the 'super deep concave' and 'semi concave' versions.

I guess that makes little difference clearance wise and is more cosmetic?

Sorry for the million questions, could talk all day about superbike wheels/tyres but still learning car wheels. The rest of a car I'm reasonably well versed in though >_<
First off don't buy anything from vivid racing. They were banned as a vendor here for a reason.

Second I have been very tempted by Forgestar wheels and used to recommend them until this thread.

I would hope the issues have been resolved but still it is worrying. Their pricing does make them very tempting since I think they are likely the cheapest option for custom offsets. Definitely cheaper than CCW's.

Hey There...

I was wondering, where did you have the wheels customized?
