Kw3 are on their way,

Is 235 and 275 the propre tire size?

235 and 285 possible or not recommended?

What sizes are your LMs? My LMs are 8.5 in the front and 10 in the rear. I'm going for the 235 / 275 setup next time I need tires.
My current 225 / 265 setup looks a little bit stretched. More meat will look better and the wider tire is welcome. Only bummer
is the larger diameter slowing the acceleration a little.

Tire fit will depend on multiple things
wheel:width & offset(ET)
Tire: width & height(OD)
suspension: ride height & specs
I try to keep front and rear tire OD close to the same spec as it simplifies setup & alignment, for that reason and for favorable track handling 225/40 & 265/35 or 235/40 & 275/35 or 245/35 & 285/30 on 8ET52 for 225/40 or 8.5ET54 for 235/40 & 245/35 w/ 10ET65 for any of the above rears. For A/X the tire selection would be a little different.

The above work at any ride height, I do use much more negative camber than spec but any track car will want that as well.

Here's what the stock fit looks like compared to a max fit 245/285, 235/275 would fit on either wheel set and be in between, I sort of dislike the 235/275 because of the tire height which saps performance a bit.
