Now if you want to get real crazy, you can run 335 on 18x12's square like I do. With that said, you're not fitting the 335's under the factory fenders up front.

Mine poke about a half inch up front as well. I have been thinking of going with a 18x12 rear and 18x11 front and run 335 and 315 setup!

LMAO, as gomer said it just works! My off set is actually +18, not much of a difference I know. I have yet to have them rub even in a full spin or going over humps. My compression on the coils are set to full stiff as well for the track. I also run a set of Einke 18x10.5 +30 with 15mm spacers in the rear. I have not run anything more than a 295 on them but I think they would be fine with a 315 as well. When I got the first set of two 18x11s they had 305 40 Nittos on them and I test fitted them on the front and believe it or not they did not rub lock to lock. I was very surprised and excited so I ordered the other two and never looked back.

I think coilover setting are dependent on the manufacture and their setup strategy. I run Fortune Auto true type rear 12k and front 14k. I am lowered about an inch an may go lower another .5 or .75. I find it hard trying to get it dialed in. I get better turn in down low and it seem I get more oversteer at higher ride heights. I also have a big wing and a front splitter that extends about 6" from the front bumper. All of those things impact how the car will handle as well.

I have neither the skill nor the power to justify a 335 tire, but salute for cramming that under the fender.

I scrounged together a set of 18x10 +22 (f) and 18x11 +16 (r) used Enkeis and was going to run either a 275/285 stagger or a 265/295 stagger, but i just had the fronts inspected and there appears to be a crack in one wheel that was repaired. We're gonna do some testing on it to see if it'll be straight and hold air, but i'm not really taking chances. I am leaning toward buying a new set of fronts

Thinking about 18x10.5 +22 which is plenty safe and will easily fit a 275 or 285 front and i can go 275 up to a 315 rear if it comes down to it. Some options and should be no danger of rubbing, since i'm already rolled and pulled in front.

I'm already at -3 f and -2 r so my alignment is probably track ready, its the height i need to look at.

then its off to swap fluids and brake rotors/pads and safety equipment

With 335's, you're not really under the fender anymore.

Remember I run a 20x11 +15 w/ 275/30 as my daily/street setup. It's fine, no issues.

Maybe I should suck it up and just get a matched pair of 18x11 +16 to parallel the rears. With a 275 or 285/35r18 it's a much shorter tire anyways. I have a 14kg front spring

Hotrodz · 06-18-2019, 09:33 PM

I think you would be fine with that setup. It seems the standard table fair is a 18x10.5 square with whatever offset as there are many that work. Many run 275 40 or 275 35 square.

Are you guys using TPMS on your track-only wheels?

AFAIK, a lack of signal just triggers a warning light, but won't cut power or anything

None here either.

I don't use tpms as well.

About wheels, I am on 10.5+18 and it rub slightly on hard right corners with -2.8 camber, but my left side is lower due to corner balancing. I think some go with +22 and +25 with 10.5 to avoid any rubbing, but I didn't roll my fenders, I think I will not have any issue if I rolled them.
