Leading evidence: 'Test fit this' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test fit this' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking for some feedback on my tire/wheel decision
! I've read as many threads as I could find. Some great info, but sometimes posts will describe a tire size that they like/works without giving the wheel offset, or talk about wheel offsets that work without discussing what tires they are using.
Car:
2002 C2. OEM USA non-sport suspension. I plan on lowering with coil-overs or X74 if I can find a used setup.
Use:
Fast mountain roads, sometimes commuting, occasional semi-casual track days and DE
without
tire change.
Objectives:
New performance oriented, dry-only tires.
Maximize use of stuff I already own ($$ I save can go to the coil-over fund!)
Improve looks by pushing tires outwards (oem setup recessed into wheel wells).
Use attractive wheels.
Improve under/oversteer balance.
What I have:
OEM 996 Carrera II wheels, 8x18 RO 50, 10x18 RO 65. Some curb rash, could use refinishing... Currently have snow tires mounted on them.
OEM 997 NB Carrera III wheels. 8x18 RO 57, 10x18 RO 58. I definitely like the the look of these better, but the front offset moves in the wrong direction.
Hankook Ventus Evo, 235/40-18 (nearly new, currently on 997 fronts)
Hankook Ventus Evo, 265/40-18 (nearly new, currently on 997 rears)
Four RSS 5mm spacers with longer bolts.
Thoughts on the following ideas, or any alternate ideas?
Using 997 wheel set:
F: 8x18 RO 57 with current evo 235/40-18,
Purchase 14mm spacers
.
(I've test fit this with 5mm spacers and there is a slight rub. Probably need to purchase larger 14mm or possibly 7mm spacer?)
R: 10x18 RO 58.
Purchase evo's in 295/30-18
. No rear spacers, as this is already the*equivalent*of using the 996 65 offset wheels with a 7mm spacer
**(Will the 295/30's fit on the narrow body with the lower offset wheels? Might need to roll the fender lip? Would *evo's in *285/30-18 be a better choice?)
Using 996 wheel set:
Refinish wheels
remove 235/40-18's from 997 wheel set and put on 996 wheel set.
F: 8x18 RO 50, evo 235/40-18, optional 5mm spacers.
R: 10x18 RO 65.
Purchase evo's in 295/30-18.
Use 5mm rear spacers.
