Well, mine is nothing special comparing to some of the cars here, but my old 19" Alufelgen SF-71 was alright after all these years of pounding. Have a clean OEM look which I like a lot. Btw, these are for sale 235/35 19 front, 265/35 19 rear, Conti DW
Have a set of 18" Apex's new PS-7 right now in anthracite color for tracks. A copy of VMR 710s, but with higher quality flow forged construction instead of gravity cast, think they should be pretty indestructible as long as I don't hit a 2 feet deep sink hole. Pictures will be comparing this weekend. Tires are 255/35 18 on 18x9 et31 for front, and 265/35 18 for rear, running on Hankook RS3 V2.

mkPOTO, is that a supercharger I am seeing in your sig? Btw, think your track setup looks much better than your street setup But again, I am partial to concave wheels.

Should be no problem w/ 265, I run 235/35 19 on my street setup. You can also run 245/40 18 with that 8.5 wheels, you might rub a bit with the front of the fender liner at full lock, but you could just a heat gun to push the liner in by 1/4 of inch.

You can just play safe and go with 255 instead Tire fitment isn't all about tire width. You have to consider wheel width, wheel offset, camber angle, tire sidewall shape, tire profile, and ride height. What tires are you plan on running and what's your wheel offset?

Since you don't know the car that well, just go with 265/35 rear and 245/35 front... You should be good to go with whatever tires your run.
