How do you like the Federal 595 RS-RR? Thats the tire I just ordered for mine. Same exact size tire going on a 18x9.5 with a +38 offset
I like them. Excellent tire for the price, grip is just as good as the Hankook RS3 but more responsive to steering input. I'll be testing them at the Match Tour in San Diego next week to see how they fair against some of the fastest Auto-xers on the west coast.

Seems to be the general consensus. Let me know how they do for you at auto-x, the only knock I've read is they get slick when hot on the track. Not a big deal as I dont track the car much.
Ive been autoxing on these since November last year and they have been great so far. I won my last two races last year by a margin of 3.5 seconds instead of the normal 1/2 a second in my local STX class and took the series 4-0. One thing I will add is that they are noisy. Very noisy, like offroad mud tire noisy.

Wow ok, that may change things a bit. Maybe Firestone Indys.
If you arent racing on a regular, the 595 rs-rr could be too noisy for most people as a daily driver only tire.

18x8.5 +35 offset on 255/35/18. A little over an inch drop all around on coilovers. No rubbing what so ever, but I am running higher than average spring rates front and rear, and a lot of negative camber up front.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed so can anyone tell me if 1) these will fit and 2) are they worth the asking price. I apologize I advance if my post isn't up to standard. I'm at work 😆
5 lug could mean 5x100, 5x114.3, 5x108, 5x112. So right off the bat with the little bit of information provided, it would be hard to say if they would fit.

The common wheel with a sort of uncommon setup.

Konig Hypergram 18x8.5 +43 offset on 265/35/18 Bridgestone RE71RS tires. Running a 5mm spacer up front for coilovers collar clearance as well as ET spline drive lug nuts to ensure proper thread engagement with the spacer. No spacer in the rear and plenty of clearance all around..

What offset are the wheels? This is pretty much dead on what I'm going for and I'd like to get it right...
+ 43 offset without spacer, +38 offset with the 5mm spacer
