Lastly, we can agree that a et42 front and et48/50 rear is most ideal, given our constraints!
I sadly sold a new pair of M4CS replicas due to the 35et and 40et, at a profit  but they were so good looking with 8.5 and 9.5 widths. All the discussions by you and many others helped a lot! I need that 235/265 setup done right!

Factory suspension. I went 18s for more sidewall. Better driving response and comfort honestly. 235/19 on 8.5 is a little more stretch than 235/18 on 8.5. Less stretch allows for better traction both with turns, but also with launches. 235/265 MPS4S on 8.5/9.5 is more square on 18s than it is on 19s.
Going from the 19s to 18s increased my 0-60 time by about .3s because more sidewall to flex for launches, which equates to better traction. Granted, it was also DWS06 for the 19s and MPS4S for the 18s. With that said, The DWS06 time was on a drag strip with prep (could hear the tires sticking to the ground as I rolled), whereas the MPS4S was on the street (obviously no prep for increased traction. 3.9s on the 19s DWS06 at the drag strip, 3.6s on the 18s MPS4S on the streets.
