600supersport is an unknown quantity at this point
Maximum TIRE(Rubber) fitment thread

I picked up a set of Konig Hypergrams recently since they look pretty good, weigh very little, don't cost much and have at least some semblance of quality control.

These are 18x10.5 +25 with 315/35 R888s. To keep the S15 HLSD and add more beef, but pay about 1/2 total of what DSS axels cost, I went with 350z axels which, with the adaptors will add a little more than an inch in length & track width from stock. So these wheels stick out that extra ~1.1" more than most. These wheels/tires would probably clear ok with a pretty big fender pull and to save the factory fenders, I decided to pull the fenders and will rivet on these free fender flares (I've never been a fan of them, but they actually go pretty well). My front 17x9 +25 still fit within the fenders so I don't see much use for discussion there. I'm running between -1.7* of camber all around.

For an extra $3-4,000, I could've achieved better fitment and maybe more axel strength, but I'm about to be a Dad so that'd be silly. For all that money, maybe in a few years, I could probably squeeze in a +40 18x12 with a 335 tire since there's a fair amount of space left for more wheel/tire inward toward the spring now. Hopefully these 315s will be plenty sticky on the street and at the track though LoL. Adding about 4" of width to the rear of the car will be interesting on track once the weather clears up.
