Went to square for tire wear management - with stock staggered setup it's actually easier to drive, but the difference in tire wear means I literally throw away the fronts when the rears need to be replaced
I originally get 9.5" wheels to skim a set - we actually have a winter here, and the 19" stock rims is expensive to get winter tires for. What ended up happening right now is that I have shelved the 19s, swapping between 245/40R18 all seasons and 265/35R18 PSS for summer + track. Original setup I could have keep the 19" for summer non track use, 18" for track use, and swap between winter and summer on the 18". Needless to say, that plan never materialized
Maybe I should have cut my losses with the 18x9.5", sell them scratched as they are for cheap (doubly hard in Canada), and get some 18x10 and just run 285/30R18 for summer and get some all seasons for the stock 19". I don't know yet - right now I can get a handle with this spacer setup even though I had less grip in rear and more grip in front... maybe I can make this work for the next while (like 2 events per year for next 2 years) and then go for 18x10. Storage space for my tires / wheels are also issue
