[FONT=.SFUIText]Hey guys, I searched for awhile looking for something like this and couldn’t find much. Here’s my contribution! I know this won’t be for everyone. It’s a strictly function setup and not the prettiest, but definitely gets the job done.[/FONT]

[FONT=.SFUIText]Front wheels - Vision Sport Star II 17x4.5 $121.00[/FONT]
[FONT=.SFUIText](I did have to machine down my front calipers a few MM)[/FONT]
[FONT=.SFUIText]Front tires - Mickey Thompson sportsman 26x6-17 $ 198.00[/FONT]

[FONT=.SFUIText]Rear wheels - Motegi MR135 17x9.5 with a +45 offset $132.00[/FONT]

[FONT=.SFUIText]Rear tires - Mickey Thompson 305/45/17 $267.00[/FONT]

[FONT=.SFUIText]Total - $1436, about a thousand dollars cheaper than what a race star setup cost. Weight savings were pretty significant too, I'll post them once I get my hands on a scale :thumbsup:[/FONT]


Yes I know the tread is on the wrong side, I was just test fitting for clearance. I'll need to raise the back about an inch.

Might get more answers here but for an 18 X 8 front wheel, what offset should I be looking for?

Is it just an illusion in the pic, but is it even safe to run a rear tire like that which is so close to the rear 1/4 fender lips, especially when the car is under load or torque?

No, probably not. That's why I raised it an inch. This was just a test fitting.
