Hi,
I am planning to upgrade from the OEM wheels & tires to a race setup. My choices for larges dimension R tires here in Europe is rather narrow and it's costly as hell to import from US, so here's what I have been able to piece together:
Front:
Kumho V70A Ecsta Hard compound 265/35 R18 on 18x9.5" rims
Rear:
Kumho V70A Ecsta Hard compound 305/30 R18 on 18x11" rims
I have done a few track days on the OEM tires and find that the shock rating that fits my driving is 5F/4R and then the car is pretty well balanced mid corner.
So, to the questions:
1. Will this setup fit? The wheel diam is 1.5" smaller than OEM, but I figure that is only positive since CG will be lower. This will be a track only setup.
2. Which wheel offset (ET) would be OK?
3. Will I experience more considerably more understeer than with OEM considering I could go 5F/5R on the shocks?
Thanks,
