Ok, now that it has been established that the stock 18" x 8.5" rear wheels (2007) can take 265/40 and 275/40 tires, my question is this: Among the myriad of tire options available out there, who makes the 265/40 tires with the tallest sidewall or the 275/40 tires with the lowest sidewall?

Dude, chill out! I'm just asking a question. If it it stupid for you, that's OK. As far as I remember, I never relinquished my right to ask stupid questions every now and then.

Besides, I have a stock HR. I think HR's put just a little more than 250 to the wheels so I think I could use all the traction available in the whole wide universe. But what do I know, I'm just a mere ignorant.

Yeah that's my dilemma, for a 18x8.5, all the "better" performance tires (RE01R/Kuhmo XS) out there are either:
245/40 (2% difference from stock with the narrowest width)
265/35 (3.6% difference from stock which may be too much)
275/35 (2.6% difference from stock but can't fit on a 8.5" wheel)
I'll be running a square setup so that shouldn't have an affect to my TCS (no VDC for me).
So yeah, what to do......this will be my dd and weekend track setup.
