Hi mate,

I changed my wheels to
Front: 18x8.5et35
Rear: 18x9.5et50
But only because I already had them, it was just lucky they worked well.

I reused the stock tyres so they are running a bit stretched at the moment, I'll probably go with 235/255 next.
In terms of fitment both front and rear only have millimetres of clearance on the inside so I wouldn’t go with what Apex recommended.

I have taken mine on track a couple of times and it’s performed well, but you will chew out the Michelin PSSs very quickly.

If you are going to the track regularly a square set up would be ideal, I think 18x8.5et40 with 245s all around would work.
These are one option http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Enkei-RPF...l/141770300886
Or these if you want to stick with Apex and don't mind going down to 17s https://www.apexraceparts.com/wheels...c-8-wheel.html (this would also rule out bigger brakes)
You may need a small (3-5mm) spacer and some camber on the front, which you will need anyway if you are going to track regularly.

This is how mine sits at full compression, you can see it's right at guard width without poking.


and when sitting normally
