Wheel selection
What do you guys suggest? I was possibly lookin at Ksports so I could have an adjustable ride height, not to mention damper level, and also I was lookin at 18x7.5 and 18x8.0 wheel size. The wheels would be the auto courture supreme-br's in a silver polish but I was wondering about tires. What do you guys suggest for a spring to fall tire?

i run the pirelli pzero. but they are pricey. in my case they cost me almost 2x the price of each enkei wheel i have. but the performance on an 18" wheel is exceptional. especially with my suspension.btw i have the ksports...and saturday i am uninstalling them making adjustments and reinstalling with a new set of lower controll arms so if you have any questions let me know/

if it's going to be a daily driver why not just go 18x8.5 all the way around?
that way ( assuming it's a daily driver) you can still rotate the tires and get more life out of your tires
afterall, it is a fwd car. not that there is anything wrong with staggerring a the wheel set up................but if it's not for show, i say go 18x8.5 all around.
on tires it depends on what you like.........most run a 225/40/18.
if I were to do it all over again on 18's, I'd do a 215/40/18 to get a semi stretched look on the tires....looks HOTT
..........but that's just me.

Not sure what year your car is, but it depends. We have Pirelli's on our promo ES and they are nice. I personally prefer TOYO from a all around standpoint though.

Hey man I just noticed you are in NJ, our guy with the ES is in Union, maybe you can meet up and check out his Exhaust / Suspension / Etc
Since you are in NJ I would vote for forged wheels if you going to spend SUPREME BR type funds. The new Forged line of AUTO-COUTURE's start at 19", so maybe you will do 18" WORK RESAX or something. Forged wheels really help with the nasty NE roads.
