Default New Wheels

Morning all just needed some advice on wheels as enkei wheels have said the TS10 wheel would need to be 18x8.5 to clear the brakes. The ET is 50 but not sure I wanted to go so wide as I don't want to risk any performance. Anyone have this size wheel and how does the car feel overall? Cheers

The PFF7 should be 18x8 ET51 and for comparison the OEM S203 wheels are 18x8.5 ET53. So you're only deviating 3mm from a stock fitment. The S203 is on 235/40 R18 tyres from what I've seen. So that should work fine and if it's good enough for an S203 it should perform well. You can also get pilot sport 4S in that size I believe.

Maybe someone running something similar can confirm. I'm only on 18x8 ET48 myself.

Good point regarding the S203 scoobaholic! The S204 uses the same wheels (18x8.5 ET53).
