don't see how 18" wheel and tires would be a benefit since, stock tires can be increased to 245/45 rear and 225/50 front. I read this some where on this site, I am trying to find it now.


SSR-GT3: 18x9.5 rear plat form still suggest or require at least a minimal of stock offset +65mm, increasing to 255 or 265(can figure that out on the site) can it handle a 265 max rear? and 18x8 +53mm 225 max front.

The cost factor of going to 18" wheel and tire doesn't make sense.

Is there something that I am missing?

Can the stock rim handle an OEM S02 bump to 245 rear am I getting a little off path??

I'm new at this also, just trying to find the benefits.

sportscompactcar: just did a review on this and lowered the car and the car's handling performance on the slalom lost time, there point was don't lower the car. The main part of the performance package was the s/c.
