Lots of wheel questions.

I've got a long list of things that I want in a wheel. Here are a few of them.
18lbs or lighter. Track/street friendly. No spacers needed. Fit closer to the edge of the fender lip. Does require a BFH to fit .Under 2500
RPF1 is out for me.

My car is on coilovers and is a little lower then stock. I'm more about performance then some stanced crooked tire deal. I'm ok with a light roll of the fenders.

From what I've found a 18x9 +30 or +35 fit well with a 255/35/18 tire. Is there any known combo that can support a larger tire/wheel?

A few wheels that I like are.

Wed Sport 105n 18 x9 +30. Approx 17lbs A few have used them with a 255 or 265 35 tire and said they fit well. Has anyone tracked them or put alot of street miles on them?

CE28N 18x 9.5 +34 or +28 17lbs

I really wanted RC-T4 18 X 9.5 +30 but they are 20lbs They fit well with a 255 tire.

Is there a lightweight 255 or 265 tire close to an RS-3 in terms of grip, wear ad being able to drive on the street in most conditions?
Thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Finding that right wheel is very tough. So many choices in style, width, diameter, weight & offset

I wanted a track worthy wheel that was sub 17lbs. I choose the Advan RGII 17x9 +29 (no spacers 16.9lbs)

GL on your choice

I am not sure about the weight but I would recommend you look at the BFG Rivals. I have raced on Hankook RS3's, Dunlop Star Specs, and BFG Rivals.
The RS3's and Rivals impressed me the most. I ran a 24-hour race on the BFG Rivals and they held up very well. Temperature and pressure played a big role in the lap times but it still felt very manageable and controllable during all hours of the day. Ironically enough, I put down the fastest times for our team at night (2 AM) so the tires liked a cool track (the race was in September heat in South Texas)
