Ok i am about to make the plunge into the tires and wheels for the car. Since my tires are shot to hell. I also decided to get some racing tires on the TT wheels and get some new shoes and tires to ride on.
I have had great dealings with MB Motorsports. I have their Competitions on my S14. Now they have a new wheel the Drifer. I really like it and want to get a set. So now the question comes down to proper offset and width. I don't want anywider than the 9.5" wide wheel in the rear and 8" - 8.5" in the front. Now what I want to ask is that what offset would work on the front and rear. Keep in mind I have Megan Racing Coilovers (the one and only set for the Turbo MKIV) so coilover clearance is going to be exactly like the Tein Flex. Help me find the right offset and width and proper tires size as well. I don't want to run stretched tires like i do on the s14 cuz that just sucks for tire life.
These are the available wheel sizes:
FRONT: 18X8.5 +28/38 MB MOTORSPORTS DRIFTER
REAR: 18X9.5 +15/25/35 MB MOTORSPORTS DRIFTER

Tires:
BF GOODRICH G FORCE SPORT
REAR: 275/35ZR-18
FRONT: 245/40ZR-18

So what do ya'll think. Tire life is more important to me than grip. The BFGoodRich are great from what I hear. I normally use the Hankook Ventus HRII great tire for the drift/track slut s14 but thats about. When the tires go they go real fast. So what are some of your opinions.
