Default Toyo R888s

Anyone one running Toyo R888s on stock C5Z wheels? If so, what sizes?

Your best bet is to get 18X10.5 all the way around. Easier to get tires.

I think I've come to that conclusion, would run a 275/35/18 and a 305/35/18. Does that make for a decent combo?

and 305's on all four corners. R888's will last a very long time on the track...they slide around a bit, like higher pressures, are freaking heavy, and just keep on going. Shoulders stay pretty squared up if you run a bunch of neg camber -2.5 or more.

Go Nitto 555R2 or Proxies RA1.

For stock wheels:
275/40/17
305/35/18

Or if you can pick up 2 more 18" wheels go with:
285/35/18 Nitto on all four corners. (no active handling though).
