So I would be up for a meet I just wouldn't do anyone any good off road.

So what is everyone's wheel and tire set up? I've been looking lately and the tire prices for my 18 inch factory wheels are horrible. I want to go with a more aggressive tire than the factory Bridgestone AT... was thinking about adding spacers now and when its time for new rubber, then going with some 33s... I don't have a lift... don't really think I need one.

I decided to downsize rims and went with a 15x8 mb72 with a 35x12.50 MTR. It is a tight fit, but everything clears (just hard to clean the mud out of the back of your wheels). These allowed for a slightly cheaper tire. I really liked the duratrac tire, but it isn't available for a 15" rim as a 35" tire. Maybe when I need to replace mine I will switch. That said, the MTR's have been a great tire. Very aggressive offroad with pretty good street manners.
I got these for discounttire online which is a sponsor here. They were mounted and balanced and delivered in less than 24 hours (with free shipping too!).

It wasn't a sports car to begin with and it isn't one now 
Not too bad though really. I don't like the vehicle to 'lean' too much so I am not cornering too fast, but it handles just fine.
Offroad it is pretty solid, so I am glad I went down.
