370z MEATY TIRE THREAD

Hey guys I'm running a wide body (flares) 50mm wider than stock. Fenders are cut and I am on Airlift bags. I'm switching up my setup to go more aggressive/meaty.

Hey guys I'm running a wide body (flares) 50mm wider than stock. Fenders are cut and I am on Airlift bags. I'm switching up my setup to go more aggressive/meaty. My wheels are 18X10 -13 and 18X13 -26 . My plan is to wrap them in 305/35/18 and 335/30/18 Toyo Proxes R888. My question is do you think the 305/35/18 is too large for the fronts? I'm aiming for a specific look and it's not stretched and cambered. My build is S30 track Inspired, so I want thick and meaty. Any info/suggestions is appreciated. PFA

That 335/30-18 R888 is a full inch smaller in diameter than spec

It's hard finding wider tires in 18's nowadays. I'd prefer to stick with 18's but will probably end up with a set of 19 so I can actually get the tires I want.

THIS. I hate that, even slightly larger 18, 295/35 hell 305/35 don't exist unless it's a drag tire. I dread the day I buy a vette and want to autocross it, there's maybe 2 tires made for them
