As promised tickle!!
No rub, full lock no issue. Steering is missing that sharpness, but pictures don’t do justice. She looks track ready!!
18x9.5 with 285/35/18 pilot sport 4S

and of course the wheels came from @systemMotorsports

What is the offset?

Any rubbing with the 275's? This setup looks incredible.

No rubbing at all, this is with our TE37SL 18x9.5 +45 sizing!

+45

Wanted to post my set-up for reference if anyone feels spicy enough to run 10s as well.
Very similar to the FK8s where I think the sweet spots are 18x9.5 +45-+38 and 18x10 +40. I don't think I would go lower than +40 on an 18x10.

18x10 +40 TE37SL's
Falken RT615k+ 265/35/18
H&R FK8 Lowering Springs
Removed top hat guide pins for little extra camber.

Looks great - any more photos namely on the front end? Any signs of rubbing?

I've got the same size Saga's arriving at the end of the year with the intention of running 275/35R18 RE71R.

Found these online, in the same boat contemplating Sagas over SL's

Nice find!

I prefer the look of the SL's but I could only get Saga's in that spec into the country (without costing exorbitantly). A feature of the Saga's I do like is the knurling around the tyre bead seat which prevents the tyre from rotating around the rim under heavy load. I find my RE71RS's are starting to move on my SL's to the point where the yellow balance dots are inches away from the valve after a track day.

does anyone know if 18 x 10 +40 will rub with 275/35/18?

It'll be close, but it'll work as long as you don't hit a crazy huge bump with a full car.

Looking good mate! Is that on stock height or lowered? Any issues with rubbing etc?
