Toyo R888R?

Looking for some info on fitting 295/30 R888R's on a 18x10.5 ET23 square setup for a E92, I've searched for a while and can't seem to find a tread that goes over these tires. If I can't do 295/30 then I'll go with 275/35 .

I plan on running FEAL 441+'s the spring rate might be 10k/6k but that could change depending on if I get custom spring rates. I don't mind having to do some stuff like removing the front fender liner or anything else.

If anyone else has any other R-compound 295/30 tires to recommend I'll look into those also.

Not trying to thread jack but I thought the consensus with these tires is that they're overrated? At least from all the tests I've seen

From what I've read people have faster lap times with them compared to NT01's but they heat cycle faster? They are the only decently priced R compound in 295/30. That I can find.

19 or 18? Maybe check out the yoko A052 because they have that in 18 and for 19 they have 275/35 as well as 255/35 for front

Yea I looked into them I think imma run Proxes RR in 275/35 and 295/30. They seem to do better then then the A052's and are better priced. Doesn't look like you can do anything to fit a 295 on the front.
