Who runs what square set ups in 18"
 
I'm looking to pick up a dedicated track set and was wondering who runs what and how they feel. I'm considering a set of 18x10 or 10.5 295 squared hoosier a6's. But I wanna know ppls outlooks on what they've run and if it's 2 much or what?

I run 245/35/18 R6's all around on the track (the widest size that can fit on my winter wheels). They kill any street tire in any width.

I run one set of 18x10 +34 Forgestar F14s and a set of widened 350Z Rays 18x9.5 +46, both with 15mm rear spacers to push the rears out.

The hoosiers are worn now, but I had them on 9.5s. 295/40-18. About an inch taller than stock but great performing tire, and require a 5mm spacer on front to clear the spindle.

The other set, I recently put 275/40 NT-01s because they were a ton cheaper. They don't perform as well as Hoosiers though.

Gonna order another set of Hoosiers when I get the bucks for the other rims, although at some point, I should reverse which rims have which tires.

10.5+30 all around. I was running 295s, which worked well, now 315/295.

More info please. What wheels? Were you dropped? Any issue with rub with the 295's?

Going with 18x10 with NT01 275/35's this fall. Narrow as possible to give sidewall a little preload and immediate steering response. Spacers vary with camber per specific track, 5-10mm tbd

Thinking bout slicks down the line, understand will need to tighten things up significantly for that kind of setup- how stiff/what are you guys running for your suspensions when you throw hoosiers on?

How do you like it in comparison to your 295 squared

I still need more rear tire. I'm going for 18x12 rear with 335 and I'm considering 18x11 front with 315. Talking to bodywork guy about how to do tasteful flairs
