Guy - I emailed Forgestar, they are not able to make an 18" C-Street legal wheel for the front. The maximum they said they can go for our car is +35 to still clear the brakes.

I'm using a set of 18" base model (made by Enkei) wheels to autocross with.

If your car has the Sport Package, then the base model wheels aren't technically legal in C-Street class, which I think is what glw was trying to tell you.

They're not the same width (each is an inch skinnier than the 19" wheels), and the rear does not have enough offset to be within 1/4" of the 19" wheels.

That being said, unless you're going to go to nationals (and probably even if you did) I doubt anyone will care, particularly since you gave up an inch of width on both ends.

Got it.....as slow as I run it really don't matter. One of the local rules about classes is, they are too concerned about mods until you start beating someone who cares. I've still got a long way to go before that happens.

I do appreciate to info, just so I'll know, what class would that actually put me in?
