Tire question
What is the best tire combo to run on stock zo6 wheels for autocrossing and road racing? I know the sizes are a bit odd. I would like to run something along the lines of a Michelin pilot cup sport or bfg r1. Any advice?

I am running:
305/35/18 Rears
275/40/17 Fronts
Can anyone offer an informed opinion on the Toyo R888's in same sizes / usage ?

Not sure about the sizes in the Michelin or BFG. I run Hankook RS3s, 255/17(f) and 285/18(r). They are smaller, but the grip is unreal. They don't have as much feedback as a Dunlop and are bigger. The Kumho XS is fatter, but is supposedly horrid in the wet and about 2x's the money of the Kooks. I will be buying another set of RS3s this year.

I have been looking at this for the rear:

I just don't know if it won't rub.
