I am sticking with the Hankook V12 evo K110s that were on the wheels I bought. I just had to buy new rears to be the correct size. They are not the grippiest tires, but I do still have my stock wheels with RE050 runflats that I can throw on if I feel like it. I'm not planning on auto-xing this car anymore. I'll buy a cheap beater miata or similar car if I want to do that stuff. It's just too hard on a nice new car like this. This car will be for cruising, shows, and daily driving.
The wheels I got are 8" front and 9" in the rear and the tires are 215/40/18 and 245/35/18. I hope they fit under the fenders with the offset that they are. We shall see.

Exhaust video! I am loving the sound of the car now being uncorked.

It sounds much better! That's also a very well put together video.

Thanks guys. I love how the car sounds now. It was way too quiet before. The coils are going on Wednesday.

Sounds great! I wish you could make exhaust videos for everyone else too.

I'd be glad to help out if anyone wants a video like this. It's super easy to make.

What did you use to record?

Canon 7D with a Rode video mic on it. I also have a different digital audio recorder that I want to try, but then I would have to sync the audio to the video.

Lows have arrived. I love the ride so far. I'm not sure what the rebound is set to, but the ride is only slightly more bumpy than stock, and it controls body roll better. Love it.
