The 18x10.5's are 56mm offset ones by OE Wheels. Here is a current Ebay auction for the ones I'm currently running on all four corners. Ebay Auction

I've run 285/30's and 295/30's on these rims and I really like the 295's from both an aesthetic and performance stand point. This is what the 295's look like with a 5/16" spacer. You don't need the spacer but I run it to help with clearance for my brake duct hoses.

Thanks for getting the shots up!

I'm extremely surprised by how well those fronts stay within the body lines, especially with the added spacer. Aren't those things pretty heavy though?

I used nitto drag radials once when i autocrossed and i came in second place with my street car to a mustang dedicated to autocross they worked well for me

I never did weigh them but yes they are heavy and one of these years I'll spring for a set of CCW's for the old girl. I got those cheap enough that I just didn't care.

ok they are old school American racing wheels i got a friend who has auto x with them for all most 10 years

my vote get ccws man they great wheels and i run a 1/4'' spacer up front

NT05 s are the best street tire that you can get miles out of if you only drive your car 7k or less get nt01s they are like 4$ more i think and worth it

I run the hankook ventus k110's and love them. I get within 2 seconds of the cars running slicks in my class at auto-x and they have excellent straight traction too. I was in a rain storm once on a concrete road and took off from a dead stop in my 383rwhp SS I was 75% throttle half-way through first then 100% all the way through third... they never even struggled...

I get a lot more life out of them then other tires I have tried, I think on average i get close to a year out of them whereas it was like 7 months on the kuhmo ecsta supra I used to run. The road noise is average.

I have been running this staggered setup with the sales sizes as OP for over 11 years now and I have never noticed understeer. It's not hard to achieve oversteer while autocrossing. What is the thought on why it promotes understeer? Perhaps I'm just used to the setup?
