Thanks for the pics, I need to buy a extra set of 18"s trying to decide between the two.

My humble suggestion. Get 11 with GT2 offset or more if possible. If you plan to use hoosiers go to 12 if your going to use 315's but you will rub. If you are going to street drive mostly, their is no need for 12's. That's my experience after 2 sets of 12'' rims.

Good advice.

I'm running 11's in the rear with GT2 offsets and 315s. No rubbing to date with about 1500 miles on the tires. No track work.

I like it!

Just got a set installed for the rear. They feel much softer than the Bridgestone Potenzas I had on before. Drove about 1 hour home and intentionally driving on road reflectors, and selected the worst condition lane. In addition, the road noise wasn't as bad... I would take these any days before the Bridgestone.

btw, no rubbing!

The stance looks great. I have a similar setup with 315s in back. I like how the tire lip will protect the rim with this setup.

Mike,
I thought you are already running on those; I'm really surprise how good these tires feel.
