So the Evo will probably sit for the summer as I planning to spend bonus money this year on other things non evo related (potentially expensive rock for woman, we will see
) but I was curious as I am looking at wheel/tire setups.
Has anyone had experience with these?

I would run these in the 265/40/18. I would then sell my current rims for some 9.5" ones with the same offset. Also, question on offset, since I would go from 10.5" wide rims to 9.5" wide ones (both +15mm offset) would they still sit in the same position with regards to how far they stick out? I am guessing yes and they would just be less concave? I just don't want my fender roll/pull to look weird.
I am looking at 18's because I would like to keep my braking power so if I ever chose to do road course stuff I don't have to change much.
However, my end goal is just street and 1/4 mile for this car and then if I keep the car running long enough maybe try other stuff.
The other option, is change front brakes out, there are several options here, but then move to 17's or less even and slicks and maybe keep my current rim/tire setup for street.
No idea where to go with this just yet. I bought new rotors from MAP, girodisc 2 pc for the rear as they were on clearance and was planning to go 2pc for weight savings etc but I could sell those and change strategies.
I like the idea of running the MT street radials as I have heard a lot of the really high HP guys run those on the street so they must be decent. But I am guessing they suck in rain and turning...dunno.
