Already thinking on my next tire setup haha! Any recommendations
![]() I was thinking on 265/35/18 & 295/35/18 what you guys think? Currently running 255/40/18 & 285/35/18 and i love the look and how the car feels in the track... just want to see if i can improve the handling a bit more

I would suggest 265/40/18 if you are in need of the extra 10mm.
265/40/18 are 26.4" diameter, and 295/35/18 are 26.1" diameter or so, 265/35/18 would be closer to a low 25" diameter and you could run the risk of confusing your traction control. Have you checked to see how much the larger tired would increase your unsprung weight? If you need more grip, then go for it, but if you have enough grip as is then I would stick with the current setup. I would personally suggest a 265/40/18 for the front and 285/40/18 for the rear. Should give you more grip up front and reduce some understeer (if you experience any) |

265/35 and 285/35 is still within tolerance.
I run that combo (but in 19's)

My contribution... not lowered yet but z1 spacers - 25mm front 30mm back, base 18's. A little poke on the back, front basically flush. Thinking 25mm all around might have been better. Happy with the stance.
