First, let me say that I'm probably one of the few that have read ALL 312 PAGES!! Also, many thanks to the gurus who take the time to share their wisdom, it's helpful and appreciated. I know most won't do it, but since I read ALL 312 PAGES, I feel comfortable saying that most, if not all, of the answers to peoples questions are already in the thread, you just need to take the time and look. Most impatient people won't, which I guess I understand.
That said, I have finally arrived at my set up, which is already sitting on the shelves in my garage. I actually pulled one out today to torture myself, as I'm not ready to pull the trigger on new tires so close after Christmas. I caught a Black Friday sale and saved about $200 over what my local Discount Tire was quoting me, so I'm good with that. Currently, I'm running stock R-Spec wheels with 15mm/20mm spacers, and sitting on BC coilovers. It's been a fine set up for me for years now, but I always knew that I was going to end up going to a different set of wheels, and just convert the stock wheels for track day use.
I ordered Ace Alloy Devotions in 19x8.5 +20F, and 19x10 +25 rear. Nothing exotic, but a safe fitment and checks all the boxes for me size wise. I know I could have gone +15F/+20R but I wasn't going to risk it, and I don't mind throwing in some 5mm spacers down the road if I feel like I need them. With the chart being gone from Page 1 now, I googled it and confirmed what others have said. The chart generally errs about 10mm toward the "aggressive" side, which puts me right where I want to be. I don't anticipate any rubbing issues at all, as they will be outfitted with the fairly standard 245/35 and 275/35 tire sizes.
I realize that few people will make it this far having gone through a majority of the thread, but for those that skipped ahead, realize that your question has probably been asked and answered at least 20 times already, and that if you're expecting someone to jump on your question right away, you're asking a lot. Take the time and educate yourself about your car and your setup using the information that has already been generously shared, and you'll be far more confident when you finally land on your wheel and tire choices. You can't expect someone on the forum to know exactly what you're looking for by just asking for a "flush fitment", and "well he said it would work" doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to do your due diligence.
I won't try to name those that have willingly shared their expertise, they know who they are and I don't want to miss anyone, but let me offer a tip of the glass to you all. Thanks.
