Is the price shown on HRE's website the price you pay? Fikse and Forgeline used to offer better pricing through dealers so I wonder if HRE does something similar.

If you buy direct from HRE that is the price you will pay. Some vendors will give a slight discount but it’s not much. I’ve used Peter Kop in the past for HRE’s and he seems to have the best pricing.

I was thinking somewhere in the +42 to +45 range on a 235/40 ? +48 to +50 seems too sunken in IMO.

Look for some posts from @GoodfellaFD3S He had various sizing recommendations for 8.5 wide front wheels.
