Does this sound right?

here

According to Manny the SSR Comps in 18x9.5 +50 will work at all 4 corners with 265/35's. I have stock R1 shocks and springs on my car right now.

Does that sound right to everyone else? I'm not doubting him, I just want to be damn sure they will fit. I just want to make sure before I shell out the money and they don't fit.

Order a set of two 9.5 x 18 (50-mm offset) with 265/35-18. Try them up front. If they fit (which I know they will, according to the numbers). Great! Order a second set of two 9.5 x 18/265-3-18s to complete the full set of four. If they don't fit, put the 9.5 x 18s in back, and order a set of two 8.5 x 18 Comps with 235/40-18 tires for the fronts.

Definitely will need these if you run 10 x 18 with 285/30-18 all around, but should not need them with 265/35-18 with 9.5 x 18 all around.

Thats a good idea, but I think I'll take your word for it and just bite the bullet How does $2350 for the set with tires sound?

That's an incredible deal. Tire rack has those wheels for $1880 w/o shipping. Any tire in that size is $200+ each so, you're getting a very good deal.

Post pics when you get them mounted!
