Currently I have 18x9.5 +25 w/ a 20mm spacer in the front and 18x10.5 +15 with 255/40 and 285/35.

The goal is to run square. Just not sure if I want 285 or 295. I'm trying for both to be a 35 but is there anyone running a 295/30? The sidewall will be almost 2" smaller than OEM! That's pretty small in my book.

FYI
The new wheels will be 18x10 +38. This will be 7mm less poke in the front which I like since its pretty poked now and will be 17mm less than if I went 18x9.5 +15. The rear will get sucked in 29mm which I won't like so I'm planning on moving the front spacer to the rear. This again should also be perfect since the rear is also slightly poked. Losing 6mm in the front and 9mm in the rear should be nice when lowered with large tires on the track since it will be harder to rub the fenders.

The front should also lose some weight because while the the 18x9.5 +45 weighs less than the 18x10 +38, I'm losing that big spacer. The rear I'd think wouldn't be effected that much because the 10" wheels weighs less than the 10.5" but again adding the spacer back kinda keeps everything close to now.
