Default 18" wheels OTW for 11' 3RS need tire advice

I have some 18" Tech1-110 wheels on the way for my 11' GT3RS. They are 18x9 and 18x12. My question is this.

Who out there is running 18" wheels on a 10- 3RS?

Who runs Hoosier R6 tires (ONLY HOOSIER PLEASE) on a 10- 3RS?

What sizes front and rear have you tried?

What sizes do you run now?

Any rubbing / cutting issues?

Any ABS or Traction Control issue?

Need to order tires for the NASA TT season and want to get the size right from the get go.


Thanks for your help

255/40/18 and 335/30/18 no rubbing, no issues, none of us have.
Fairly sure 275's and 345's will fit, but search is your friend..

Now I run Toyo's because they are cheaper.

Thanks. I run Hoosiers because I run NASA TT with the car and Hoosier offers a good contingency program. In our region we get a big enough turn out for me to pice up 2-4 tires a race weekend. If I was doing just DE events I would get something cheeper also.

Thanks. I'll check back to see if anyone is running 345's

The TD gave a concert in 2007 in London. Very cool considering
