The 295/30-18 will be a bit too short for the rear of the M2. We would recommend the 295/35-18. This should fit without issue, but a fender roll might be required with an R compound like the Hoosier.

For the 275/35 front on the 18x9.5 ET28 FL-5, even an RE-71R is too wide with -2.7 camber? Tirerack shows the section width of the RE-71R to be slightly wider than the R7 on a 9.5" rim. I've run the 265/35 on ET30, but not the 275 on ET28.
For the rear, the only 285, 295, or 305 35-series track tires I can find are A052's or R888's--not the best tires.
Overall, I'm trying to get the most rubber as possible under the car with a typical track setup for the guys here (lowered 3/4", -2.7 front, -2.0 rear).
I was thinking I could go with a 265/35(F) & 285/30(R) setup for RE-71R, but it sounds the rear would be too short. And, 275/35(F) & 295/30(R) R7 setup, but the front sounds too wide and the rear too short.
What is Apex's wheel and tire fitment recommendation to get the most rubber possible (in a good track tire) on the M2?
Thanks.
