Hi Brandon,

May I ask you a question on 18" setup? Yeah, I'd prefer 19" but didn't exclude re-using my OEM PSSs, and when they are worn replacing them with 235/35R18 front, 255/30R18 rear - therefore please tell me the specs of say the V810 that I could stretch my current OEM tires on, but would give no rubbing in the future when I replace the tires with 235 f, 255 r. Is the situation with 18" exactly the same as with the 19" - i.e. to make plug&play with wider tires, I'd need ET=45 front, 50 rear? Or is 18" fitment more forgiving, and I could go with ET=35 front, 45 rear and still be able to use 235 mm tire on front, 255mm on rear without rubbing? TIA

Piotr
