Yes. I don't know which tire you're planning on but some are more fitment friendly than others.

Ya you should be fine. Ride height and negative camber will help. I too plan on trying out a 10.5 et37 RIA square setup at some point next year.

So which tire size safest bet on 10.5" wheel with 37 offset, 295/30/18 or 295/35/18 A052?
Tire racks specs says the A052 295/35 is narrower 11" thread width vs 295/30s 11.2" thread width. I think only other option in the A052 tire is 255/40 & 275/40

I haven't tried this exact fitment, but if I had to coin flip I'd say go 295/30 b/c 1 inch less diameter will have more clearance impact than 0.1" further outboard from the tire width. Maybe someone who's tried these specs can chime in. I'll end up trying 265/295/35/18 on mine, but I'm ET40, only lowered 3/4", and have trimmed the fender tabs. I still expect the 295/35 in the back to be very tight with my setup. |

I’ll probably try 295 in 30 series next year after i experiment with a couple other tires that are not max width attempts. Hankook RS4 in 265/35 and 285/35 fit perfect. I wish more tires came in that size combo. |

I've got the 295/35 Yoko's on my rear Apex 10" rims. Under full compression the rears will rub on the inside fender walls. I'll either be switching to the 295/30's on my next set, or just go nuts and squeeze the NT01's under there. 275/35 & 305/35's......

Yeah was leaning towards the 295/35 because it's very close to oem diameter but seems like it might be too much sidewall. I'll have to look at those fender tabs as well.

Hear good things about those RS4, where do you find those? Didn't see them listen on tire rack.

RS4 seems to be stocked up 1x per year in the US, around April, then they sell out and get delisted, so slim pickings right now. At least that’s what happened the last two years that I personally observed. The A052 and RS4 are much different tires though. RS4 is great if you want durability and longevity at the expense of wet and dry grip. They also break away more suddenly if you exceed their limits. But they’ll heat cycle out most of the time before they cord. A052 had tons of grip, wet or dry, but only last a few days. A052 was around 3 seconds faster for me on my local 1:40-2:00 tracks, but life is probably half. That was 255/275 a052 vs 265/285 RS4. |

RS4 can be had year-round at HankookMotorsports.com they do charge for shipping so it increases the cost. But they do exist. Just not at the usual sources. A lot of people don’t realize this.
No one thinking about going for the Falken Rt660 in here?

Absolutely the opposite. I tested both the 295/35 and 295/30 A052 and found that the 295-35/18 was 12mm+ wider

I would love to get a little more meat under the car for track work. Its very under tired. I have a set of 19x9.5 et25 and 19x10.5 et40. Car is lowered and am running about -2.8 front and -2.0 rear camber. Currently running 255/275. 18's are out of the question because of the brakes. Any idea if a 265/295 combo would work with those offsets and camber settings?

RT660 is probably the tire I’ll try next, but not offered in ideal sizes for 18s. I’ll probably try them in 265/35 and 285/30. Not sure how wide they run, but there might be an option here for 19s relevant to this thread-275/30f and 305/30r. Rear will be a tight squeeze though unless these happen to run narrow. |

Oh damn that's a lot. Any feedback or issues with the 295/30?
