I've searched and haven't found a definitive answer, so just want to double check prior to pulling the trigger.
I'm looking to go to 18" track wheels on my '11 GT3. I'd like Hoosier R6s. With my 19's I ran 235/35 front and 315/30 rear.
I would like to run 255/35 front and 315/30 rear on my new 18" wheels. Rad has mentioned on a previous thread that this fitment is okay.
I assume this will not cause any issues with rubbing (front) or ABS issues. Opinions please. Thanks in advance.
If this has been answered before, please direct me to the appropriate thread.

I ran 255/35 315/30 on my .2 997S in Toyo R888 a lot...zero issues.

Improved gearing, and much more grip. The 255 is actually pretty wide, and so is the 315 on 18".

Very likely, somebody added shims to your LCA, and did not use the upper strut inboard.
A few friends of mine are running the 1" wider 285/30R18 but some minor tricks are required, no rubbing either: 996 or 997.

So are you saying that putting 255s on the front may need a new alignment? My goal is -3 front and -2.5 rear camber, 8 caster, neutral toe in front, and 0.2-0.25 degrees (14-15 minutes) toe in at rear on each side (0.4-0.5 total toe in).

Rear sway bar full stiff, front sway bar in the middle.

Other than this, Rad has you covered.
FWIW I like the 255/35 315/30 combo and have no rubbing (3deg C front) on a 6..

I can't decide between those wheels (in slilver) vs. Damon's new OZs (only in black). I really want the Forgeline but they are double the cost.
Are you going to continue buying the 255 or drop down in size? I would think the rubbing would not be an issue if its only at full lock.

I'm very happy with the quality of the Forgelines. Jeff at Pacific Western did a great job for me. I've git a pair of the 245's as well so I'm planning to run them back to back and see how they perform. I'll report back later this month.
