i was suggest 295/30 fronts and 305 rears.
it’s a perfect diameter and scrubbing would be very minimal.
plus low stagger so car won’t be squirrelly.
I've been running 295/30/19 square on my +35 track rims and they hardly scrub so I know 18” will be no prob.

I went with 255/40 and 285/35. No 295’s on the 4s, at least not the size I looked for. The Top of the wheels are already flushed with the fender so I think going with fatter tires would rub.
Had the Exoshield done on the windshield and my installer did an excellent job! I waited for this to be done before I put the moldings back on. So, only the top edge is exposed. Now the windshield should be protected against small rock chips!

well I guess you will see once the tires are on the car. Measure the gap with steering wheel at full lock.
Mine only rubs at the corners of the tires, but mindful that’s a 295/30/19.
Hhypothetical 295/30/18, the tire will be 1/2” shorter, so I’m almost positive 295/30/18 will clear the liner front and back. As far as the height, I cannot comment since I don’t know the ride height. But I know your car is not super low.
Never tried to put a 255 on a 10” tire. Prolly will be stretched a bit. That will help the clearance for sure.
But...a square 285/35/18 set up would be sweet too. No push!
i wish I had the windshield film now.
How much did it cost?
one dealer in Atl quoted me like $800 (can’t remember exactly, may be tad less) so I said forget it. I had the glass replaced by lexus at no cost since I have glass coverage.
But then the very next track day after new glass was installed, it got a chip in it...😩

I wanted to keep the outer diameters as close to stock as possible and even though the new set are 18’s, the offsets are more aggressive than my 19’s by 6-7 mm. The 255 on 10” isn’t too stretched but I may have to bend that one tab that holds the fender liner, lock to lock should be fine as I have more clearance inboard now and didn’t have issues with the Velos.
The windshield exoshield cost just over 300$. My buddy just opened a second tint/PPF shop local to me so that was a plus. It was his first time doing the exoshield so he got to practice on my car. It’s a much thicker film than PPF and took some time to do. It will definitely be worth it for those who track their cars.
Here are wheels with the 4S tires installed. Wheels are now waxed and tires are dressed. I’ll post pictures with them on the car later when I take the car out of the garage.
