HyperRev suggests 235/40/18

I am running 245/40/18 Toyo T-1S right now and they only rub under full load and full lock (ie making a U-turn quickly). Not a big deal...

I'm running 235/40's right now but my car is stock height with no suspension mods so it runs fine. I'm gonna lower my car tomorrow and see if theres gonna be any problems, shouldn't be but 235/40 is what Auto R&D recommended so i went wtih their suggestion.

Toyo TRAMPINO 888 "GGG" compound Drown Toyo in requests for this rubber so everyone can use them (not just cheating bastards like myself...)

Robi somehow squeezed 265/35s on the rims I got off him. They don't rub, but I'm at stock height at the moment.
