Wheel tire recomendations

I live nearby very twisty roads and my car is a weekend car. but i am no into much modding. i feel the grip of the car is very good, but i want to imporve it so i started looking for tire, i liked toyo r1r very much, but i figured if i was going to change tires i might as well change the wheels, so the question is this, what wheel/tire size will imporve the grip of the car without having alignment o rubbing issues?

also i dont want to lower the car or change coilovers

Well wheeldude.com has Rota's for a very discounted price. I like the tread design of the Kumho Ecsta AST or Toyo T1R. If you go 9.5 width, go 255/40/18. That'll give you the width and traction without having to change suspension.

I think a 265-275/35/18 will fit w/o rubbing with some added camber.

+20 +22 +25 offset. You should be able to fit those tires on there.

Ya, you can fit any extreme offset and it'll give you a flush look. Even with a +30 offset, you'll be able to fitt 255 on there.

There is an "offset" thread stickied at the top of this section. It lists wheel offset and corresponding tire size.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ent-chart.html

Please spend a little bit of time searching this section. The answers were already there.

I would go with 265 Toyo R888s or Nitto NT01s. Those are some sticky *** tires. So look into those and if you don't got the moneyz for them....maybe try Falken Azenis - RT615s, another popular sticky tire. Those IMHO aren't the best sticky tires ever, but it will do the job for you if you're on a little budget, but still want some legit tires.
