18x8.5 front 35mm offset ..... tires 245 35 18 ... 24.75 total height

19x9.5 rear 45mm offset (might add a 5mm spacer if these are too far in) ..... tires 265 30 19 ... 25.25 total height

fenders rolled and coilovers

this is purely for street driving, no track, will get a different set of wheels/tires when im ready for the track.

yes i know some people think 19"s look funny on an FD but I like they way they fill out the space, and those rear brakes look tiny regardless of 18 or 19 lol.

my car is all blacked out, going with

hmmm...it seems 235 40 18 would be a significantly cheaper (33%!) front tire because its more common, but thats gives a 25.4 front height

i dont want my fronts taller than my rears, that would be weird.....so id have to bump up to 275 30 19 for the rears with a height of 25.49....which happen to be pretty much the same prices as the 265's

is that too wide? it appears to fit from the spreadsheet.....i know my speedo will read 62 instead of 60 due to the larger size
