My 275 Falkens and RPF1 wheels are 1 lb lighter than the OEM wheels & (worn) OEM tires. Not bad considering the wheel/tire width/size increase.

The 265/35-18 Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 is wider and shorter than the Falken 275/35, better grip too

i just saw these wheels on an 8 here, the fronts stick out of the fender well! i was wondering how much camber you all are running to keep them inside the fenders?

They're magic. You only THINK they'll rub, but they don't. They swing in an arc and go up in the fender just fine. (I use stock camber.)
