...Not looking further anymore, at least for daily and winter setup (retaining stock 18").
18x9J ET42, Apex VS5-RS forged replicas, with 245/35 Yokohamas V107.

Must admit, car really gains a lot and shines with forged, high quality wheels. Definitely looks "more expensive" now than ever.

Also, assured myself, the "small" sport pinch on wheel is what you are after on sports car. The 215 on 7,5J setup was ideal, happy to return to same side tyre profile with Yokohama tyres.
 
Looks great, did you need to mess with the rear at all to fit the 9j?
Also intrested where you got them, been sitting on the fence for sometime with these wheels.

Car is dropped around 20mm F and R, with approx. -2,25* negative camber at the rear and -2,70 at front, so not needed to mess around.
As long as car is lowered, natural camber gain will allow you to fit 245/35 tyres on 9J wheels without issues. 255 and 9,5J is a different story tho.

Directly from China seller.
 
That looks fantastic, especially with the Brembos tucked behind them.
 
Does someone have experience with Goodyear F1 Assymetric 6 tires or SuperSport? I'm considering one of these however I want to be sure they don't squeal during drifting or when having lot's of wheelspin.

I'm unsure what your threshold is for squealing volume, but my F1 A6 squeal if i do a drifty launch out of a T-junction, but I'm pretty sure most tyres do. I can't say how loud because my exhaust pushes most other noises into the background.

They are a very good tyre though as many on here will agree.
 
Consider the pirelli PZ5 as well. The Goodyear asy6 was a good tyre but pz5 has taken over the crown now.

Yeap, really happy with my F1 Asy 6, I prefer them over the stock PS4s and V105s I had on my GT86, really can't knock them for the price. Not sure how well they would hold up to track work though.

I'm sure the tire will be fine for my purpose which is road use, however I needed the quietest tires I can find. I don't want to draw attention when having fun.
