Need wheel setup inspo
TLDR: I’ve been looking into wheels for the DE5, and I’m struggling to find decent pics online of people running 18s on them. Please share your wheel setups!
Goal is to get Apex VS-5RS at 18x9.5” and run 265/35-18 tires (maybe even 275). I want the sidewall assurance and the ride to feel a bit more plush (after driving my buddy’s FL5 with the specs I just mentioned). I really love how 18s with thicker sidewalls look on the FL5. As a fan of GT cars and endurance racing, I really like meaty tire setups that are track focused. However it is my personal opinion that 18s on the DE5 make it look like a VW Beetle or some kind of rally car. Maybe it’s just me but I think the fender flares make it appear smaller than it is.
Worst case I just buy 19x9.5 and still run a 35 sidewall at the cost of some minor speedo discrepancy, but I really want to find good examples of people running 18s. Please help by sharing your wheel setups!
