Setup #1
Wheels: TRMotorsport MT1

Front: 18x8.5 et44
Spacer: none

Rear: 18x8.5 et44
Spacer: none

Tires:
Front Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 245x35-18
Rear Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 245x35-18

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:
Stock

Notes:
Test fit showed front offset caused clearance issues with strut and steering control arm. Never ran them on the road, returned to TireRack since I didn't want to run spacers on a street setup.


Setup #2
Wheels: BBS RG-R Forged
Front: 17x8 et40
Spacer: none

Rear: 17x9 et42
Spacer: none

Tires:
Front
None mounted -- test fit
Rear
None mounted -- test fit

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:
Stock

Notes:
Purchased and test fit for brake clearance without tires mounted. Fronts cleared suspension components and brake calipers without a problem. Rear 17x9 had minimal (~1mm) clearance from rear brake caliper high points to inside circumference of wheel--insufficient for use, IMO. Offsets, both front and rear, looked very good.
