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.. |

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

Seems like waste of money and effort to cut, paint and install fenders for no gain...but it’s your car, whatever

Well that's the fun thing about looking at numbers on the internet vs looking at things in real life. When I said 'the fitment looks good!' it's because I was there |

I live in NYC/NJ area where we have this thing called winter that produces these things called pot holes. Some of which are massive and on the off chance I hit one, I don't want the tire to smash into the fender. So flushness isn't the priority. The way it sat when I tested it was just on the inside of the flare which is exactly what I wanted. All I came here for was to ask about best tire choices.. |

it's your money, do whatever you want
if functionality is the issue, get a cup kit or air instead of cutting/painting/riveting on fender flares that don't fit your wheels but again its your money, set it on fire, put it in a hole in your back yard, spend it on flares, be happy

Why run flares if you aren't going to fill out your wheel wells? |

Ahhh yes, the majestic, elusive pothole that only areas that snow seem to have...
Anyway to cut the sarcasm short, "flushness" won't result in your wheel/tire slamming into your fender, bad fitment and suspension setup will. My setup is flush, with a decent tire, and I have no rubbing/etc. but no clue what I'm talking about either so enough about me. To answer your Q: if you plan on going with the 18x10/11 GTC combo I would have originally suggested a 275/40 and 305/35 combo... however, since you don't want to listen to advice and want to run oversized flares on an undersized offset (including the spacers), I'd recommend you get the largest, widest tire you can fit on a 10"/11" wheel. So, something along the lines of a 305/35 in front and a 335/30 in the rear. |

Plenty of folks are running as aggressive or more aggressive wheels without needing fender flares
hell, like Hotrod said, he's running a goddamn 315 in FRONT and he TRACKS the car without issues
