Best Tiring Sizing for Volk TE37sl
I have a set of Volks TE37sl
18x9.5 +22 18x10.5 +20 So I am looking to run RS3s and was wondering what the best sizing would be for DD/Track days Would 285s in the rear and 265/275 fronts be okay? I would like to go the widest in the rear, feedback would be great! |

You can fit 275 in the front if you want to get closer to a square setup. Personally I went with 275/35/18 R-S3 square on my 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 but since you want the widest rear 285 should fit fine.

For staggered wheels, the 265/35/18 and 285/35/18 would be the better stagger as the 275/35/18 in front is too close to the 285/35/18 rear. Also, the 275/35/18 may be just wide enough to interfere with your KWs like the AD08s previously did, especially at a low ride height.

275/35 with et22 will fit with KW Clubsports. Not sure if KWV3's have less clearance. There is only a few millimeters of clearance with those sizes in Michelin Super Sports and Clubsports.
As far as the rear... 285/35 is probably the best option. Unfortunately very few tires are available in 295/35 sizing and an et20 is probably too aggressive for 295's anyway.

If I remember correctly, you'll be switching out for another suspension setup correct Mark? Just remember to use a 6" linear race spring and you should not have any issues with front wheel and tire fitment.

How about running 18x9.5 +15 in the front?
I'm under the impression that this size is available from volks. Is there a reason why most people prefer the +22 setup due to rubbing issues? |

No you want 265/35/18 in the front. 265/40 will be too tall.
