I'm looking to purchase another set of 18's for scca/parking lot track usage with Dunlop Direzza Star Spec tires in 275/35-18 size and would like to see how they look. Anyone running tires this size lowered on Steeda sport or ultralite springs? Pics? Thanks!

 

That tire has a smaller OD than the stock tire. Go with 40's or 45's. Besides, you need some sidewall.

 

I'm not running those tires but I'm running a 295/35/18 Toyo on my GT500. I could snap a few pics of it tomorrow but it's not the same tire you're looking for. It's also lowered on Steeda Sports. IMO though, I would stick to a 40 series sidewall.

 

I would stick with a 40 series but the availability of performance track tires is MUCH larger in a 35 series. I may just go with some NT05's in a 275/40 size but would like to see a 275/35 on the car.

I was running 305/35 rears and they looked great but I'm looking for lightweight as well. A 35 series tire will also be lighter weight.

 

Go with the NT05 IMO

 

I have been running 265/35 & 275/35s up front. Pics in my album they are R888s. I buy scrubs usually cost me around $70 a tire.. good enough to do track days and autocross and stick like glue.

 

Mmm, yeah hootna thats what I'm looking for. I may have to track me down some used 275/35's. I really like the Direzza Star Specs. Those R888's are a soft compound right?

 

Yeah tread wear is 100.. They say they are a street legal competition tire. I use them so I can drive to the track dont get into changing tires and dont want to deal with a trailer.
