Hey Gents.
It is hard finding the perfect fitment upfront. I noticed the M2 CS Racing is using an 18x10.5” square setup, which is interesting. I posted the short version of my wheel/tire journey below in a diff thread:
My first 18” set was the cheapo Tirerack set. They warped on me after 10 track days. I like to think it was bc I was driving so fast.
My second 18” set was Apex EC-7 18x9.5” ET35 and I’d run 265s all around. Worked well.
I wanted more rear grip, so I tried 19x9.5/10.5 ET33/45 and ran 265/295-305. Massive rear grip coming off the corners.
Now I want more front grip/response and different tire choices, so I have a set of forged EC-7 18x10/10.5 ET25/40 coming and will try 265/295 & 275/305.
I’ve tried the 71R, R888R, Trofeo R, R7s, and Falkens and they all have pros/cons, but I don’t really want to go back to any of them. So, will try the A052 as my fast tire and NT01 as my budget tire, or some Pirelli and Michelin take off slicks for fun.
