As they are available in 19's and are reasonable priced $380 a tyre fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fitted Tein coilovers and bought a set of 18" (9.5" rear and 8.5" front) and run 265 on the rear with either 235 or 245 on the front. The Tein suspension made a HUGE difference to the car and made it possible to minimise understeer - they are quite a bit stiffer than the standard suspension though - even when adjusted to full soft - so bear that in mind.I run the 18's as it (as others have mentioned) gives you a much greater range of R comp tyres to choose from. As a bang for your buck (and life) equation the Federal RS 595's are excellent. I have also run Bridgestone Potenza RE55S (medium) and they offer much greater grip and feel but last about 1/4 of the track time compared to the Federals.It all depends on how fast you want to go and how much you want to spend - the old equation !If you want to see how my car feels with the Teins PM me and you're welcome to come for a ride. Depending on what tyre you choose I may be able to put you in contact with some good people as well.Hope this may help in your decisions.....
