Hey KapitalZ,

How do you like the setup of 255/45/R18 on the front and 275/40/R18? I have a 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 ordered for a staggered setup. It looks like that combination provides the closest diameter to stock. Do you find the tires you have are too small for the wheel? I'm currently stuck trying to decide the right size. Guess I'm a stickler for wanting close to stock size therefore there is no change in speedometer or anything else like that. I am definitely a noob when it comes to changing wheel size on a car. My last car I just used tire rack to choose my new setup. I've seen so many posts on this forum but it seems like more people were interested in looks rather than trying to remain close to stock height. I also want to avoid any lights on the dash.

Ordered WEDSport SA10R.
18x9.5 +38
18x10.5 +25

Was recommended by Vivid Racing to run 265/35/R18 on front and 285/35/R18 on rear. Of course when I ran the tire size calculator, it seemed to changed the specs pretty drastically. Using tiresize.com to calculate the dimensions.
Anyone have any insight?
