Crossroads with rims, need input on fitment and timing...
So I'm kinda at a crossroads with wheels and need some input.
I'm currently on a set of Acura TL Type S rims that came on the car. Specs are 17x8 +45 on 17/40/235's all around. I'm in the process of going single turbo and know eventually I'm going to need some more rubber on the road, wasn't planning on doing this now but...
I found a killer deal on some of these Varrstoen ES1's locally as well as a buyer for mine. Specs are 18x9.5F & 18x10.5R +30 on both wheels with brand new front 225/40 and 235/40 rear tires.
I could have very little money in this, toss some 275's on the rears, and be set on wheels and tires for the time being and eventually get the ones I want when it is more realistic. Other option being to stick with what I got, sink funds into turbo swap and clutch and eventually need wheels and tires which will still be just as long of a savings wait.
Any thought's on this? Will these fit ok given that all my fenders are rolled? I'm having a hard time deciding here...

I've decided this is the plan. I think I'll just pick up some cheap radials for the rear and make it work until the motor is all handled and set, no traction is better than no motor, thanks guys
