Message	Finally got the new setup installed. Ended up getting ESR CS15's. I have always loved the Blitz 05's but you cant find them anymore so these were the next best bet. There's something about a split 5 spoke that just looks right on these cars. Rear's are 18x9.5 +22, front are 18x8.5 +30. Went with Michelin Pilot Sport P888's, 275/35/18 and 255/35/18. These tires are like glue. I cant believe how well these hold traction. Front wheel required a 3mm spacer to clear the caliper. Also repainted the calipers and rotors during the process. Overall, I'm extremally happy and appreciate all the input from those who helped me decide. She cleans up pretty good for sitting in the garage collecting dust for 14 years.
