Hmm, they don't have 255/45 or 285/40 as a tire size, however that's the size they recommend on element's site..

Sorry to chime in so late, but it seems that all the questions were already answered. For the brembo brakes, I would go with the 19" as shane already said. The RTR's are 19" and they fit the brembo brakes perfectly and the 19" TSW's are practically the same. What are the rims you have on there now 18 or 19? Not sure but im guessing 18?

Shane said his were 18s. It looks like everyone got the TSWs because of the option for 18s.

I'm ordering these right now from a local shop (largest TSW dealer in the Southeast ), he wants me to go with 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 on 255/45, 285/40. He's looking it up right now if they will fit. He thinks the offset will be fine and be a better size for the 285 tires. What do you guys think?

I think on a 10.5" wheel the 285's will be very rounded. Maybe move up to a 295/35 NT05 on that wheel if it were me. 285s fit 10" wheels, but look better on a 9.5" IMHO.

Scratch that - the 10.5" would rub with that offset.

Ordered the 18x9 and 18x9.5 with 255/45 & 285/40

Mine are 18". I added the Brembos up front and I am currently running spacers....but I don't want to do that for any longer than I really need too
