Your input is appreciated. I noticed this size wheel and tire is on his recommended list.. I just wanted to make sure since the tire is a drag radial it would not change anything. I wanna make sure I don't order something that won't work.

I got 285/35/18 on my 18x10.5 I posted from the track. I also put a 10mm spacer there just to make it a bit more flush... you can easily run 295s. In fact I will eventually too.

Looks great! I also like how the amber reflectors match the brakes. How do you like those tires?

Love'em. So far, tracked OE PS2, PSS, AD08 and now R-S3 (2 days this weekend), and while AD08 and R-S3 are on similar level, I like R-S3 better. During 8~9 second sweeping turn 8 at Big Willow, I'd do around 110mph w/ AD08 but did 115~120mph w/ R-S3's.

Is your car dropped? What are the wheel specs? Thanks!

I'm seriously considering getting a square 18x10 set up of ARC8s for the track, now need to also figure out tires for the 275/35/18 set up.
