Anyone on here running 265/35 on a 18x10 up front and a 295/30 on a 18x10.5 in the rear for street and occasional track use?

I know Schirmer uses that tire size on their 10/11 E88's.

I really want to go ARC8 and their lack of an 11 is throwing me off.

Should I go 285/30 in the rear on a 10.5? That just seems like it's going to be a small diameter.

Also just debating on 275/35 square on 10's all around but wondering if that much tire up front on the street is going to be a hassle.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

I currently have 18x10 et25 (front), 18x10.5 et27 (rear) ARC8s. I don't see why 265/35 & 295/30 wouldn't fit--no need to go 285/30. I daily drive my car with 275 squared, it's not a hassle at all.

I ran the same on my BBS RIA 10+25 front, 10.5 +22 rear. Felt no issues and the tires were moved off my 10.5/11 E88 setup. On the street absolutely no difference even pushed on a little bit. I think it would take some near limit driving to find where a 11" rear would be better.

285/30 is supers super short, I wouldn't go down that road. 295/30/18 is already really short compared to OE.

Let me also say that I picked up another set of wheels recently that are 10 front and rear with 275s and again on the street even pushed a little bit I can't feel any big difference. I suspect it's going to take driving on the track (or a bit too fast on the street) to really find the weakness in any of these setups.

A 295/30 tire will fit a 10.5 width wheel with no issues.

I'm running this setup for trackdays and it works fine.

APEX ARC8 18x10 ET25 Front with TROFEO R 265/35/18
APEX ARC8 18x10.5 ET27 Rear with TROFEO R 295/30/18

If you have coilovers like KW clubsport you need a 5/10mm spacer at the front and some negative camber to keep the wheel arches safe.

Nothing needed at the rear. No rubbing at all.

Expensive tires but good ones. 295/30 not common in Street tires.
