The butt dyno doesn't feel much of a difference. . . and the car rides fine. I find that keeping the PSI high definitely helps.

I really should know the answer to this but I want a professional opinion.
xB. With DF210's.
Wanting to get 15 OR 16x7" wheels with with +35 or +40 offset.
First, which would be the better offset? (I would like the wheels to look fat y0)
Second, what is the best tire size to get maximum width and contact points, (I want them to look as wide as possible but not rub)
Thanks a bunch!

This implies then that the overall tire height will be equal to the stock tires, therefore not affecting speedometer?

please post:
18x7.5 . . . . . . . 45 . . . . . . . . . . 215/35-18 . . . .front rubs at full lock, rear is metal on metal(rim on control arm)
I am pretty steamed about this - I bought the wheels as a dealer option, motegi FF7s, which are offered by every dealer in my area. how could anyone possibly have thought that these fit? I have only had them on a short time...I bought them with the car, but soon swapped out the stockers for winter. I have only actually run a few thousand miles in them, but tonight, as I was installing some spacers, I found that the spacers were going to be much more than just a cosmetic mod.
