Tire setup
Hi I need new tires and I’m looking to see what my options are
i have stock rims/tires on it right now. I don’t plan to track but just do “spirited driving”..I like when the tire pokes out a little in the rear but not in the front
question 1
if I kept the stock rims which tire setup could it handle while looking the best and have the best performance
question 2
if I went with a square setup probably 18 inch rims all around what’s the best tire specs that you’d go with for looks and performance?
question 3
if I went with new rims but staggered say 18/19 which tire specs would you say are good for looks and performance?

18 by 9.5 front with 275 35 tire
The wheels and tires were purchased, mounted and balanced by tire rack. Rears poke maybe an 1/8 - 1/4 inch, stock ride height, no clearance issues.
bridgestone pole position tire
grip is amazing for spirited driving. With a 275 tire in the front, the car just goes the way you point the car. I think the Bridgestone tires are amazing. Continentals and Michelin seem to be what people purchase, but don’t underestimate the Bridgestones.
wheels are flow one race spec…
