Well, I caved in to the tire options with the stock 19 wheels and went with a set of new 18inch wheels from TITAN-7s. Pics will come soon.

Are these the 18x10.7 +38?

Do they fit in the front with your current setup? or are you going with coilovers for more clearance?

I will know on Saturday, as I'm still waiting for tires to arrive. I don't have coilovers setup just yet as I'm trying to make the car Sport Class legal so I only have Eibach lower springs and no spacers. I asked USR and they told me they will fit, no clearance issue. They ran the same wheels on their shop car so I'm confident they won't have fitment issue with mine.

Well, test fit them with 275/40/18 Hankook R-S4s and it's rubbing on the suspension bit by just a little bit on the front (the circled out bit.) Will try with a 5mm spacer and see if that would be the cure today.

Thats what I thought. :(

Be careful if your car is lowered with springs, the 5 mm spacer will cause the wheels/tires to rub on the fender liner or the fender itself (bonnet).

Well I cannot confirm it now since the tire shop cross threaded my hub...was hoping to test the setup tomorrow, but now it's probably gonna be late March.

Sorry guys, it was crazy over the past two months, trying to figure out a way to fit those wheels.

So currently I'm running a 15mm spacer in the front to clear the wheel, overall it feels alright, but one issue with that is the rubbing, with the lower spring it would rub the outside of the fender liner when I'm driving on ramp. This is not an ideal situation, so I have ordered the HKS kit to swap out my Eibach one just becuase it has the spring perch replaced. I'll have those springs up for sale sometime next week, so let me know if you're interested.

In the meantime, stay safe and take care of each other. See y'all safely at the track soon.

Looks great and im rubbing ever so slightly and I mean only on serious compression mid turn with my set up...you should have a look see. But running a 5mm spacer only and made it a point to get more negative camber. Its beautiful!

The only way the front wheel gonna clearing the front strut is with a 15mm spacer, I can't even get the wheels to mount with anything less than that, it's so frustrating, but with the HKS springs in place those fucking perches will be gone and I won't have to run spacers at all.

HKS is in. No spacers needed to fit those 18*10.7 wheels in the front. I'll be posting the 15 mm spacers and the Eibach lower springs up for sale shortly.

Track testing next week, then if the event isn't cancelled I'll be at CMP later this month for SCCA TT National tour.

I can't wait! Previous setup would rub and jerk the steering wheel if I push it a little bit on highway onramps, feel like it's just too dangerous hitting VIR with it. I'm so happy to resolve the issue so that I could focus on driving this car fast now.

You are going to love this setup. I installed it back in Sept and did 3 track days, car felt so much better than stock! Now im looking into Vorschlag Camber plates and the Eibach front sway bar. Car handles like its a damn rails right now with the wide wheels and Rcomp tires so not in any rush ordering these extra parts, tracks aren't opening any time soon.
