Dont want to open a new thread, so decided to post this question:

Running on stock suspension, stock 261 style wheels (18x7.5 and 18x8.5) and Bridgestone 225/40 and 255/35 Potenza RE-11 tires now. When they wear out, Im thinking about going wider, with Hankook RS-3 + ARC-8 or EC-7 for dedicated track set up.

I have GC camber Street plates and M3 control arms in the front. During lapping season, I set my front for max -3.2* camber in front, while rear is fixed at -1.6* all year long.

I set up the front this way to reduce understeer, and outside tire wear.

Debating whether to order APEX 18x8.5 wheels for square 255/35fr setup, versus staggered 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with 255/35f and 275/35r or 285/35r, for use on the track. Goal is to increase adherence, and to keep the car as neutral as possible.

Im on stock M sport springs and dampers, and not looking to upgrade in the near future.
