All I know is, the RS3s appear to be the shiznit for autocross right now.. and they seem to actually do well on track as well.. I'd like to put the widest set I can on my car...

I just mounted RS-3 tires in 265/35-18 and 285/35-18 on the Apex rims. The fronts are very close to the front inner plastic fender liner, so I don't believe you would want to go bigger.

Yes, so I'm hoping I don't find myself in that position too often. I also had thought about ordering the tires shaved, which may have made a difference with clearance. I'm going to get the car on the track later this month, so I'll see if I encounter any issues. I think it will be okay.

Appreciate the info. I wonder if the PSS would be any different?

Shaved would make these tires even faster and still leave plenty of tread life/track days.

What about a small spacer? Would that eliminate any rubbing?

Here is a few quick iphone photos...

Last photo is with AST 4200 on Swift springs.

What et are you running on the front? If you're running an et22 I wondering if an et35 with a small spacer would give you more clearance at full lock.

As you said it shouldn't bother you much at the track except when parking ... or drifting.

The fronts are ET22. I'm going to restrain myself from attempting professional drifting and hope I'm okay. I think the setup is pretty close as is. I don't want to mess with spacers until/unless I discover a problem.

Aww, maaaaan! I just ordered a set of 275/35 PSS to go on my ARC-8's - 18x9.5 et22 square setup.

Do you think the fronts are going to rub? Might have to get the razor out

Yes, I'm instructing at the H2R event for the Tejas Chapter on the 31st. There is also an "outlaw" autocross event at H2R on 3/24 that I've entered in the Elise. It looks like a track event thinly disguised as an autocross. The person setting up the course (Andy Hollis) says he is only using about 12 cones and those include the start and finish gates, so it should be interesting. So, I'm thinking this might be a good time to try out the RS-3s and see how they feel on the track. I may change my entry to the 1M.

There is plenty of inside clearance with the ET22.

With 265 fronts, it will run slightly on the fender liner.
