I just installed a set of the RIIs. They stick much better than the stock F1 Supercars. I never really knew what 1st gear felt like until I got these tires. I would stick with the 305/35/18s on the rear. They will look better and not require chnages to get them to fit.

I have the 275/40 in the front and 305/35 in the rear in the Nitto's. i absolutly love this set up. Great handing on street and track and much better over the F1's. My rear set will need replacing this fall and i will certainly get another set. price is good too.

yeah i ordered 35s but discounttiredirect.com sent me the wrong tires so put them on anyway and thought that it filled out the wheel wells nicely so i kept them
