You said you are looking to get the Alleggerita with 245/40-18 right?

I hope so for you. I've decided for my car. CF5 Forgestar 18x9 +50mm with Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 (but I saw the Toyo Proxes R1R, they seem to be really good, wondering if someone ever tried them). They should be perfectly flush.

i ran the alleggeritas in 18X8 with a 245/40/18 dropped on stance coils and the fronts rubbed only on hard bumps at fast speeds. I had it lowered to the point where there was no gap between the tire and fender.

Bottom line is that I want 18x9 with 255/35, I don't know how to set my coils not to rub and which offset I need to get so the wheels are flush with the fenders

I think John Powell is running either a 18x9 or 18x9.5 PM him for his input on offset. His user is something like powellraceparts

i dont think +50 will work, its close to the strutt, i remember j boogie had 17x9 with +30mm and 255's and it was close.

Are you going to make the new event in spring? Im planning on making all of the Texas events and a couple OK and LA events if I can get the time.

Hopefully by the event in Ennis, I will have some wider wheels for traction purposes lol.

Wow i would of bought the MT 275/40/17 5 months ago if i seen your car I have the 7" wide wheels but i was holding out till i had a proper wheel setup 9"-10" wide. How much Hp/Tq does your car make? I was more worried about spinning the rim and i hope it will hold traction in 2nd on the street without heating up the tires..

Haven't been dyno'd on this setup. Dejon intake, Dejon hardpipes, 3" catless dp, 3" side-exhaust, trifecta tune 24PSI, 75shot of nitrous. They held plenty on the street.

Do you spin 2nd? Also have you marked the tire and wheel to see if the rim is spinning?
