Tough to choose!

305 is more than fine, but I'd go much bigger on the front. Keep the front and rear close to avoid understeer these cars already have.

Thank you

I was originally looking at 275s for the front, but saw the earlier post mentioning the possibility of fender damage with that size and a big bump or potholes. The roads are garbage here in Charlotte, so it concerned me.

I could see it happening with almost no camber, lowered, and a lot of low offset. But you're running the OEM wheel so offset isn't an issue. Not sure if you're lowered or not.

PS the OEM alignment numbers are garbage. Even if you are stock springs/coils I vote you get camber arms and get a bit more aggressive than stock. Even on the street I'd shoot for close to -2.0. You definitely shouldn't rub with that camber and factory wheels, lowered or not.

Makes sense. I'm factory height and have camber arms right now. I'll have to look into the 275 setup with a little more camber. Thanks for the input!

Track guys love a square setup. Everyone seems to be doing it. You could even go 285 in the front if you insist on 305 in the back.
