I'm racing tomorrow too. Forgestar F14's, 18x9 ET 30 on the front and 18x10 ET 25 on the rear. The front wheel tire combo weighs the same as stock. A 245 weighs more than a 225 you know. The rear 18's with a 275 weighs less than stock. I have photos somewhere of the wheel tire combo on a scale.

Just getting back into it. Whatever track days I can hit on the west coast. Have kw2's on the way, bbk front , and hopefully rear suspension setup when one becomes available.

Then time for rims, doing my research and research and style ideas now.

thanks guys, have fun racing, goodluck, and be safe...

Sorry it took me so long, but here are 2 of the 3 sets of rim specs that I have, the third set I have on the car and will get when I change them out, and I dont have the exact names of the rims but if youd like pictures let me know

1, mecedes 5 spoke ( i think 2002 cl500) Front- 18x8.5, offset 37, with kumho xs 245/35/18- 50 pounds.
Rear- 19x9, offset 31, hoosier a6 295/30/19- 60 pounds

2, TSW jarama- front- 18x8, offset 32, nitto nt01 235/40/18- 50 pounds
rear- 18x9.5, offset 20, kumho v710 285/30/18- 45 pounds.

The third set is mercedes "turbine" rims, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with kumho xs 245/35 and nitto nt05 295/35 tires on them. We autocross these rims and tires, dont do many track days, but if you want any info on any kind of autocross tire let me know, ive tried tons of them, hankook, hoosier, nitto....
