Instead I guess I could have come across a little more aggressive and just said, SEARCH?

he absolutely should have searched since i know that i personally have answered this question multiple times

and i offered actual, useful advice, so why are you talking again?

Speaking of SEARCH . . .

I googled "konig ampliform brake clearance" and this popped up:

It's amazing what not whining about someone else and actually putting time into helping another can yield ACTUAL HELP

I wish you good luck in finding some tissue

Hey guys, looked through this whole thread and a couple others trying to find what size tires would work best with my set up. Main thing to know is that I'm going for street-ability and maybe some track use, so performance only. Not a stance guy.

The wheels I have are 18" rear face enkei GTC01rr's and are 10" up front, 11" in rear.

From what I've read I'm thinking 265 up front and 295 in rear. I know I could probably go a bit wider but I'm not seeing as many options. Just wanted to see what all y'all think before I pull the trigger. I found some good options on tirerack- Michelin PS2 Front: 265/35ZR18 (97Y) XL and Rear: 295/30ZR18 (98Y) XL, but I know there's other spots as well. Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

Go big or go home! 315 30 18 rear and 295 30 18 rear. This is slight stagger but not huge.

Hi - with your front GCT01RR 18X10, do you have Akebono brakes (big brakes) and if so, does this wheel clear your front brakes?

If yes - what offset - the +22 or +30?

I have 19x10 wheels up front with the +30 offset. Gonna need some FUCA's to make them fit properly.

Near universal feedback from the track section is that square or close to square is best. You'll also need to stay close diameter wise f/r. I think you should have researched your tire selection BEFORE buying wheels, since tire and wheel sizing go together.

265/35 is very short - stock is 26.7 in front. That is 25.3 inch. Nearly an inch and a half shorter

295/30 is even shorter - stock is 26.9 in rear. That is 25 inches. Nearly 2 inches shorter.

I'd probably wanna go 265/40 and 295/35

or sell your fronts, put an 18x11 in front and run 275, 285, or 295 square

I run 315 30 18 square on 18x11 wheels. I have run 295 30 18 on 18x10.5. I prefer the 315s. Many track guys run 275 35 18 square on 10 or 10.5 x18 wheels.

it should go without saying but full SPL suspension is needed to take full advantage of these aggressive sizes

You got that right! Also it doesn't make a lot of sense to stretch your tires to much with the larger wheels. Take advantage of the size by maximizing the tire sidewall. Ps2 is a better street tire than track tire. I would make the leap to ps4s or Toyo R888Rs.

You seem to really know your stuff so what pilot 4s tire size do you recommend for a street driven car stock suspension stock sport rims.

I know enough to be dangerous lol. I would suggest staying with oem sizing and getting Swift springs for a little drop and better ride. I would also recommend 20mm spacer to make the wheels and tires flush and not be so sunken.

Lol I feel that. I'll stay with OEM size and get some springs and spacers. Then I'll eventually get a proper suspension setup and some new rims for the next set of tires. Would 20mm spacers be for all around front and rear?

[TheTripleC]

Hey guys, thanks for all the recommendations!

Just to be clear this is more of a daily street car with the occasional track day. I got the wheels as an open box deal hence scooping them up first before figuring out the exact tires etc and yeah, already got all the necessary suspension upgrades. Also have 20mm spacers and even a set of Moonbeam fender flares to got with it all!

Currently working on installing everything but just wanted to see what people thought of the tire sizes.

Sounds like 265/40 and 295/35 is the way to go for street, would love to go wider with the 275/35 and 315/30 Toyos or BFGs but it's not a track specific car and I don't want to get screwed if I get caught in the rain..

[OptionZero]

um, those sizes aren't gonna work for overfenders man

You didn't list offsets (...?) but the MOST AGGRESSIVE spec for GTC01RR is 18x10 +22 and 18x11 +16

those aren't even the limit of STOCK fenders, and then you're gonna be slapping on widebody?

It's gonna be sunken as hell
