So Jim just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put in, we appreciate it!
OK so here's what I'm looking for but I don't know if it exists yet, I've done a fair amount of searching
but can't seem to find it. I have a MY 04 what I'd like(in order of importance is) in wheels/tires
1. Wider tread to the ground
2. Same/similar width ratio to stock(don't want more over/understeer)
3. Same/similar overall tire diameter(i.e. don't really want to change speedo)
4. Lighter weight(same is ok)
5. Bigger wheels(same ok, smaller maybe)
6. Comparable or better tires than stock(performance not wear)
7. Cool stylezzz
This is my ideal, does this exist? I have a feeling it probably doesn't yet since they're new but I figured I'd ask the tire expert

The Shuk WR1 is a 17X8 and 17X9 and you can go with 225/45R17 and 255/40R17 on the car just fine. We have the SSR GT3 and SSR Comp in the 18" that will also work on the car. You can take a look on our web site on the styles.
If I can help let me know
Thank you

OK so I like the SSR Comp
SInce they are 15-16 lbs front and rear right? Now what I'm curious about that I haven't found is a tire that puts more rubber to the ground. For instance the RE050 stock tread width is 6.7" in the front and 9.0" in the rear. Personally I would like something wider in tread width but a similar ratio. Say a 9.5 treadwidth rear and a 7.1 treadwidth front. Or say a 10.0 treadwidth rear and a 7.4 to 77.5 tread width front. Does either of these tires exist say with using the SSR Comp?
