What size tires for 18" Base Wheels? (tracking)

Ideally, this is the size you want to run

F: 18x9.5 45mm front
R: 18x9.5 25mm rear.

275/35/18 is probably the best compromise size. XS is like $60 cheaper in that size each than their competition, keep that in mind if you want to keep your budget low.

You can either buy two of each and call it a day or buy all four the same thing and get a 20mm spacer. To be honest, I don't know spacers all that well. Find out if you need 4 25mm or 45mm offset wheel with the 20mm spacer you have. All I know is that you definitely can't use 25mm offset. 40-45mm for sure in the front.

Sorry I have never used spacers, but I do have way too much invested in tires and rims and track stuff...

Let me know how the Konigs are too, I want to get a set of those for some RA1s
