Default Need help finding tires

As the title says, need help finding tires that will properly fit a 18" x 12" wheel. I know i need at least a 315-335. Toyo makes them in the r888r and thats what I run now, but I feel like its overkill and too much rubber for stock motor

looking for other options
thank you

First try came back with these:

BFG Rival S1.5 in both 315/30-18 and 335/30-18
Advan A052 in 315/30-18
Michelin PS2 in 315/30-18

Just go to tirerack.com and search by size. Pretty much anything in the widths you're looking at are going to be high performance tires and as a result high $$$.
cv129 and Rusty like this.

I doubt you will ever be able to take full advantage of these tires on the street on the track yes. Totally unnecessary for street duty. The Yokohama Advan A052’s would be on the top of my list though I hope you own a money tree.

^^^^ its exactly why I would rather run the work at a 10.5 with a 12 offset, even though I'm losing a few mm I can run a 305 that'll look proper and have way more options than running the 12.

the most viable option is the r888r cause of the sizing

Thank you! for a 12 I actually was wrong the proper size is a 335, which almost leaves me with 3 options lol
