I have both tire sizes here & diameter differential mounted is only 0.4” (26.15/26.55)
My 325’s are measured mounted on a 12” wide wheel though,with an ever so slight stretch
275/325 stagger needs a 2” wheel width stagger to look evenly...Tire mfg will make a difference as well

hmmmm im really tempted to go that wide, you think i can fit with those wheel specs?

[OptionZero]

i'd just go 365/35 and 305/30. Matched diameter, even fit on wheel, easy fit under fenders. note that R888R runs wide compared to other brands

although i gotta ask

is this a track car? Because R888R's are not exactly daily driver tires

if it's a track car, most would suggest less stagger, more tire up front. But you have a staggered rim width which makes that harder

I don't think anyone needs a 325 in the rear unless they're running boost

Track people are running 275 or 285 square; hot rod is on the high end with a 315 square

If this a street car, the R888R's are complete over kill

On some expensive works . . . i would not bring those to the track unless you are a total G that can afford to damage one and replace it. Otherwise, thats a $1,000 wheel put a risk

be smart

Throw on some streetable tires for these

and if you are gonna track, grab some 18x11's or 18x10.5 square and have fun

I would not bring my TE37 Ultras to the track because i'm not made of money

Actually it isnt a track car, Just a fun weekend car. I drive under 3k miles a year. Strictly runs and canyon runs

I want to go aggressive with the set up and I feel like 265 isnt enough on a 10" wheel. i had 275/35s on my advans up front and I felt like that was the complete right amount of tire for the front. Thats why I feel like Im going with the 275 305 combo. Do you recommend any good high performance tires. I always tend to over kill, especially with KW V3 and works
Im learning to tone it down

I'm getting it ready for the track and I will have a pair of Work MCO's for the track/when I dont have the meisters on. In contact with FI for an oilcooler and such

for sure want to do my first track day by the end of this year

oh and I just got an evo r high wing for the down force ya know..... lmaoo

the 10 inch / 11 inch stagger puts you in between some sizes

but i know people that swear by the RE-71R from Bridgestone

the Bridgestone S04 and Kumho EVO2 V212 are less aggressive performance tires that won't get burnt up quick

265/35 front and 305/30 rear will make your life easier
height and camber can get you the look you want

i am running the Toyo T1R because there weren't that many tires that came in 275/30/20 and 315/35/20

true

I still have some time before the wheels get here, so im just weighing my options

even thought of pilot sport cup 2's 285/35 and 315/30

I want a slight buldge

[OptionZero]

are you even looking at the tire specs?

Cup 2's are a 180 tread wear tire. They're uber aggressive

tires are a wear item

if you got the cash to burn through those just to drive fast in a canyon every once in a while, i salute you

Cup 2's are short lived. Less than 5,000 miles out of them.

Slight bulge isn’t bad on the straight runs; the canyon carving will perform better with a square or slightly stretched setup,,,sometimes 1” staggered wheels will handcuff you between sizes....meaning you could end up with a stretch/bulge setup

[jchammond]

A couple pics of the slight bulge of the 295/30/19 on a 10” wheel vs a 325/30/19 on a 12” in Michelin.
Unsure about any contact underneath fenders with your wheel specs.....
Try to avoid headaches if possible; camber specs you posted up are definitely for camber carving & a slight stretch will outperform the slight bulge.
MFG stretches tires/wheels from factory on these cars.

R888’s in 265/35,305/30’s would probably give you the best chance to fit without rubbing & only slightly stretched up front
Unsure how spot on their diameter of tires are...but the Michelin’s I have are different diameter specs than what website says.
If you have someone who’s willing to mount/dismount tires without dinking up your wheels & test fitting before purchase....go for it
Unless you have been plucking HotRodz money tree

[Rusty]

The less stretch the better. Because you can roll a tire off the rim in a corner.

These help alot thank you guys so much

Im even thinking about running 265/40 and 305/35 in pss

if not ill probably run the 275/35 305/30 in r888r

even been considering pilot sport cup 2's

Cup 2's and R888's don't do well in the rain. If it's raining. You're better off parking it.

Your best bet would be to get the PS4S in those sizes.

I agree and from what others have told me the R888R is much better in the rain than the R888. I would agree that the PS4S or the PS are the best option. I also like the Bridgestone S04 are an excellent choice in that size as well. I ran them on my Nismo in 305 30 19 rear and 265 35 19 front.

I always parked when it rained as I had almost no traction. But I live in la where it rarely rains. Honestly for the money, they’re the most confident I’ve ever driven on a tire
