I'm not sure if this info is of any use to you when deciding which rubber to purchase, but I've just wrapped my ET30 18-inch staggered Sport Stars in Falken Azenis FK453s with Irmscher's recommended 235/40/18 (front) and 265/35/18 (rear) tyre profiles.

The stagger is what (front & rear)? 8J & 9J? or are the rears wider?
Falkens on the back wheels don't worry me, but on the front......
Still, the 453 is the newer tyre. My experience of 452's is not one I want to repeat...

Fanx Dan - I wasn't sure, but that's helpful :y
