18x9.5 XXR 522 +38 Square with 275/35/18 Dunlop ZII
20mm spacers front and back.
Got a deal on these wheels so the spacers were needed since they had the wrong offsets.

Enkei RPF01's, 18 x 10.5 ET15, 295/30 18 Hoosier A6's square. No spacers needed:
There is a very slight rub on the sidewall of the left rear, which rolling the fender lip will fix. It's a tight fit, but otherwise, everything clears.

I just recently attended my first HPDE class about a week ago and now I'm hook! I've been searching for wheels and tires setup for tracking after that and I believe it's safe to say 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 is the ideal wheel setup? People run different sizes of tires... So what's a common/best tires setup for those wheels sizes without stretch tires or pull/roll fenders? What camber and toe setting is good for road courses? Seems like RPF1s is winning the popularity contest. Besides that, TE37, and CR kai ultimate what other wheels should I take into consideration that looks good in white and track worthy?

Question for the auto-x guys:
I've been running the RE-11's (275/305) with great success at HPDE's for the last year, and have just recently been doing the occasional autocross. I am transitioning into R-comps for the track days and wanted to see what you think about also using R6's (295/315) for autocross. I am fully aware of the tempurature ranges of the tires, just kinda wondering what would be grippier, a luke warm R6 or a good performing street tire?
My car is too modified to fit into any classes that I could be competitive in, just doing fun runs.
Thanks

Best prices on Carbotech pads too. No shipping.
My HPDE setup: worn out Hankook v12 Evos 265/40/18 on black 9.5" RPF1s with +15 offset.
Will run the Hankooks one more time and then hope to get some 275/35 Nitto NT01s and pray they will fit (stock suspension).

I would not be driving the NT01s on the street. I've still got the oem wheels to run street tires on.
Any reason not to go with the Nittos?

NT01s are about the same price as the RS3 and a good bit stickier. (Hankook has uprated the RS3 to a tread wear rating of 200. The NT01 is rated at 100, I believe.

RS3 are 200TW now (still sell 140TW) but its exactly the same thing.
nothing wrong with nitto, but, your mistakes, and your learning curve will be decreased by going to an R comp. Has nothing to do with $ of tires. I vote make RS3, or ZII or whatever you get maxed out before moving on. I could be on slicks right now but it would mask allllll my mistakes (as I am quick I am not maxing out street tires yet so no point other then to be that much faster)
idk thats just my 2 cents.
