I find myself needing to replace the rear tires, and am thinking about some wheels to go with it. I like the stock one, but mine were beat pretty badly by the last owner. Lots of curb rash and such. So, while looking at tires, also considering wheels.

What I am considering at the moment is FR500 style, black with the machined lip. I don't have traction control, so no worried about ratio of front to rear tires.

Front 18 x 9 with +30mm offset running 255/45R18
Rear 18 x 10 with +40mm offset running 275/40R18

I have been seaching the forum on and off for a couple of days, and so far have not been able to confirm if they will fit. I am sure there is a super tread somewhere the says, but I have not found it.

I might keep the stock wheels. Would the 275s fit the rear? I see some are running fater tires, but I do plan on some autocross action with the car.

They will fit fine. Front wheel with stick either slightly in or out due to +30 offset because our wheels are 40 offset.

I'll always heard the off set for our Marauders was 50MM.

45 seems to be the average :D

Thanks for the response. I hope to have the new wheels and tires shortly. Will post some pics when I get them on.

Your wheels look great.
