Incidentally, what tires (for track) are you guys putting on the 18x10s. For longevity and price I will exclude Hoosiers and Michelin Super Cups, so that leaves me with Kumho, Toyo and Yokos. Toyo RA1s and Yoko A032 don't come in 285s and kumho only makes a 285-18 for there Ecsta line not their V700 Victoracers.
So what's left? How much would I expect to pay per tire?
Seems there are more tires at the 275-17x10 size. Although height setup in the front does seem like a good problem to avoid ,especially given that I will probabaly only run 500 lbs springs up front this season.

BTW, you may be okay with the 17x10's if you're careful with ride height adjustment. I don't believe it will interfere with the stock toe link.

Hoosiers have a shorter sidewall than street tires, which the thread starter will be using.

Thanks again for all the info guys. I've still got some time before I order the wheels and tires so I'm going to keep soaking up as much info as I can, but this will also help in choosing my suspension.

Hi Nic,
FWIW (and this is re-hash a little), 17x10 on street tires is gonna be really tight up there (I think). I'm having a few mild rubbing problems just running 17x9.5 CCWs up front. 255/40/17. Coilovers.
The experts could tell you more here, but that's just my experience.
Also, the staggered setup hasn't really had too much of a negative impact on my handling. This is my opinion, of course. I'm running 17x10 in the rear with 275/40/17 rubber.

It only happens when I'm at full turn on the wheel. Parking lots, basically. Pretty bad on the wheel though. I'm catching the inside of the rim on the front of the control arm.
I went to get it realigned (amazingly the car was in perfect alignment after at least three years - maybe more - since the previous owner), and they made a few small adjustments that lessened the problem, but didn't eliminate it.
It may not happen with everyone, and (though I don't know the geometry of it) it may be due to the lowering of the car.
