Need tire recomendation
As I'm searching for my next FD, I'm also planning to buy some wheels and tires for it. It has been a long time since I bought good tires and I need some recommendations.
I'm looking for 4 tires in 265/35-18. I'm in Va. so I do get rain and ice with very little snow (not driving the FD on snow). I do drive aggressive on on/off ramps and I do the occasional auto-x (once may be twice a year). Don’t want to spend no more than $850 for all 4. My Mazdaspeed 6 currently ride on Hankook Ventus RS-2 and love them. They did pretty well on all weather including snow/ice. With the FD I don’t want to be driving on inclement weather but there will be times that I will have to drive on the rain. So let me get your recommendations.

I guess a summer tire will work for what I'm wanting. I was expecting an all season tire but I wasn't please with what was out there. So I'm between the Hankook V-12s or Bridgestone RE760s.

Got another question.
The rims I'm planning to get are 18x10 and they only come in that size. I haven't got a straight answer on the offset but they are between 38 and 45 or 7”-7.2” back spacing. I'm going to plan on worse case scenario and count on them being 38mm offset. Don’t know if just rolling the front fender would be enough so I’m looking at some Seibon wider fenders. They are 10mm wider than stock but retain the original look of the stock fenders.
Would this fenders be enough to clear the front?
Would like to seach this info but I'm out to sea right now and my internet is EXTREMLY slow. It make 56K look like is the most modern stuff.
