I'm not a track guy; but seems the 27" tire may be a bigger issue than the 285 width. Hotrodz says 305/35's didn't rub on his & they're roughly 26.5"...seems

Hotrodz says 305/35's didn't rub on his & they're roughly 26.5"...seems like a better fit than the 285/40's on the 11".
But 315/30's on all 4 corners is gonna take some whp/tq to get around the track.

Nah

Had 275 27" up front before on 9.5" +25 and no rubbing. There's going to be some variation depending on wheels, tires, offset of course but unless a guy is running something like +40 I can't see there being an issue

The wheels specs are 18x11+14's on all 4 corners; that's a tad on the aggressive side w/27" rubber.

Yeah that definitely is. Missed that part.

Current rears are 19x10.5 +12 with 325/30 but that rolls 26.7 instead. If I hit a bump like crossroads at 50+ then I'll get a slight rub on the rears. That is likely due to the Nismo flares though.

Fronts now are 19x9.5 +12 so pretty much irrelevant to this discussion. Can't imagine 11" wide up front though, especially in a +14. They are going to poke like an inch unless its stances to hell lol

I'm +18 and the poke is under an inch with the camber I am running. I don't care about poke...race car!
