I'm going to buy some new Michelin PS2s for the Z (safety first) but wanted some feedback before pulling the trigger. My car is an occassional driver so I'll be stuck with my decision for at least 2-3 years. Have any of you track wheel owners tried this tire combo?

I've done the math and this seems to be the best combination, taking into consideration stagger, wheel gap/fender clearance, sidewall stiffness, rotational inertia and stock ride height. My only concern being the 265 on a 8.5" width wheel but then I've seen others running 275s...

For reference the stock tire sizes on 18x8"F and 18x8.5"R Track Rays are:
225/45-18(o.d.659.7)
245/45-18(o.d.677.7)
Stagger: +18mm(2.73%)

245/40-18(o.d.653.2mm)
265/40-18(o.d.669.2mm)
Stagger: +16mm(2.45%)

 

Itll work fine. Good choice btw.

 

For safety, I recommend the OEM width plus 20mm.

 

Thats exactly what he did David, moving up from a 225/245 Those are perfect sizes, I ran them on my stock track rims didnt mess with VDC at all and looked great.

 

Nice...wouldn't happen to have any pics would you?

 

+1 You'll be just fine. the 265 will be OK on the 8.5" rear wheel.

Im sorry I dont but trust me it looks right on, better than the factory look

 

Thanks all...I will post pics when I get mounted for thread closure. In the meantime, if anyone else has add'l thoughts or pics, post 'em.

 

265/40/18 PS2's. No problems for the past year. I'm going with 245/40/18 for the front once my fronts wear out.

 

way to deliver E K...you even nailed the brand. Any more from further away?

 

I don't have great pics of the tires. I had a pic of the view from behind the car, but it's a little dark to tell what's going on.
