Default What Size Hoosiers in 18" for the GT3 ??

I ran Toyo RA1's and now putting on R888's on my GT3. The triple 8's are 255/35/18 and 315/30/18.

My next tire to order are Hoosier R6's.
What is the proven good tire sizes to go with in 18" size??

Currently, my sway bar settings are one off full stiff in the front; and, full soft in the back. Seems to work fine.

Thanks.

315 for the rear is the same. I do not think they make a 255. I use 245 with bar set one off full and it works well on understeer.

I have a brand new set of Pirelli slicks for sale if you are interested. $1350.00 delivered to your door.

245/645-18
305/660-18

They work a lot better than Hoisers!

I'm also running Hoosier R6 sizes:245/35/18 and 315/30/18 and I have my sway bars at one from soft in the front and one from stiff in the rear but I'm not running stock suspension.

Be sure to get the 245/35's for the front - Hoosier also makes a 245/40, but the tire height ratios work better with the 35 profile. You are going to love them! Big difference from the Toyos!

Do the 315's fit in the 996 GT3RS wheel arch without rubbing and without requiring the arch to be rolled to make room?

Any other issues?

Be grateful for some feedback as we are thinking of using these next week at Monza.

I just ran R6's on the RS. Not much better than the R888's IMO.
