In rain ice and snow wider isn't better For all other times, wider is better. That said, go 18x10

Default follow up on 18x10

Thanks yeah that is true.

But won't a 18x10 hit the wheel wells in the front?
Or is it simple to mod if they do?

I guess because stock is 18x9.5 any buddy running 18x10 with no issues road and road track?

I ran a 18x10.5 square setup, Enkei PF01, +38 front with a 10mm spacer, +15 rear (with perfect fitment, no spacer). I ended up changing the front rim to the PF01 in 18x9.5 +35 which fit perfect. Both my stock rims and Enkeis are 275 square, RS3s on my stock rims and R888 on my Enkeis. Increasing the front tire width helped a TON with understeer that I experienced in my first two autox events I did on the stock RE050's.

Oh and for reference I'm lowered on Eibach springs on these setups.
