Default Tire size help

Hey I know this has probably been beaten to death but I was searching and can't come up with anything definitive.

I want to get a square tsw setup with 10.5 all around. I am trying to figure out what tire size to run. Should I go with the same tire all around, if so what is the consequence to active handling. I would like to be able to just rotate the fronts to the rears whenever but I like having the active handling on the street. Regardless what would you guys recommend. I am thinking of getting Nittos as I heard its a decent budget tire for street and track performance. I want to get this done asap as the previous owner put c6 z06 wheels on my car with what I think is at least a 1 inch spacer. Thanks.

I like a square setup. I use 18x10.5 Z06 wheels. 315/30/18 Hoosiers A6's. It's a race tire for autocross. For the street, you have many choices. Go to Tire Rack and put in that size and see what they offer. They don't sale Nitto Nt01 tires, but that would be great too. It really depends on rain vs. dry and how many mileage you what to get out of them. Active handling shouldn't be affected.
