Stock wheel width is 8.5", most aftermarket wheel companies spec a 9" wheel as evidenced by the replies above. Nitto says on their website that the 245 will fit rim widths from 8.0" to 9.5".

9"/12" CCWs running 245/305 NTs here and it looks good with zero rub even after track alignment.

What offsets you running on narrow body for 18s with 8.5 front and 12 rears to run the 245/305 nt01s

Anyone finding the NT01 18" rears in 305? Still (STILL!!) on backorder?

Am I correct that there are no 18" centerlocks that fit the PCCBs?

I ran 315s last year on my .1 GT3. A little negative rake, but not bad, as long as you're not using nannies

I think it's safe to assume that it's not a supply issue, it's probably a redesign issue to deal with the splicing tread issue (my best guess). Or maybe they will replace the 305 with a 335.
