17" and 18" rear
Due to clearance issues and lack of wheels with proper ET I´m thinking of 17 in front and 18 rear . Someone tried already or am I waaay wrong here?
This would be for track day setup with A052´s Front: 17x8,5 ET40 with 245/40/17 Rear: 18x9,5 ET58 with 265/35/18 These sizes would also offer more tire brands to choose from. And 245 in 18" front is a bit large in diameter.

I don't know about whether this will "fit no problem" or not..but I know damn sure running a 17 front and 18 rear (taller diameter overall tire in the rear), the feel of the car is going to suck. MORE understeer and you'll likely bottom out quite a bit with brake flush and front rubbing.
Just run 18's or 17's all around..Is there really not enough selection you HAVE to run a separate diameter set front to back?  |

Seriously. Run the biggest square setup you can. Car feels awesome. And you can rotate tires.
