For a stock suspension, this appears to be all the rubber that will fit under the car with a stock suspension. At maximum attack it's self-clearance-ing .

For this reason, I don't think a 305/35r18 at et40 is gonna be a viable track setup, but YMMV.
Thanks.

My garage measurements tell me it’ll be very close and maybe too close for comfort for the track. So, it will be an interesting fitment test.

Your setup gives me some hope bc your 18x11 ET44 sticks out 2.4mm further than my 18x10.5 ET40, but it’s the outside edge of the tire that will rub first, so our wheel width difference may not matter. With clearances this close, there’s only one way to find out.

What camber do you run in the rear? I use -2.1 for the track.

If 305/35/18 on ET40 and the rear dropped some doesn’t clear, it means I have to remove the NT01 from my list above. I’m probably ok with that bc the AR1 is cheaper and a little quicker. I don’t know if the AR1 lasts as long or stays as consistent as the NT01, tho.

Predominantly I’ll run the A052, but drop down to the AR1 and up to Toyo RR just to change things up.
