the polished black with the polished lips to match the color theme of the car. the 18x9.5 +45's have some real nice and subtle concavity to them... can't wait

question for those who have 17x10 all around.. how is handling? do you feel a difference with turning since the fronts are 10 wide?
i have bordr? over fenders.. (same as origin) theyre 20mm wider and im 95% sure they open the wheel well more aswell... will i rub? with 17x10? (no clue what offset to go with suggestions is appriciated)

welp just got my new setup installed this weekend. this should clear up all the questions on the 18x9.5 concavity... it's there just not near as extreme as the 17x10. here's the specs on the new setup:
rear rims: Black Polished 5Zigen FN01R-C 18x9.5 +45mm
rear tires: Sumitomo HTR-Z III 275/35/18
rear weight: 48.0 lbs
front rims: Black Polished 5Zigen FN01R-C 18x8.5 +38mm
front tires Sumitomo HTR-Z III 255/35/18
front tires: 46.5 lbs
the fitment is perfect... no rolling of the fenders required. the handling is night vs. day compared to my old setup.

What good are 10" wide wheels when you are only running 245s? Why not run either a smaller lighter wheel that matches the tire size or up your tire size to match your wheel width?

you can change the wheel/tire combinations for different desired RPM ranges for that course. just like how you would change your spring rates or tire pressure to get the best results. for us drifters you'll see mild to extreme tire stretching to best suit the engine output or the course layout to make the grip limits of tire more predictable. we can go on all day about whats the best setup for what but lets not argue. i dont wanna make this thread phail
