i put my oem is250 wheels on my sc430 and next set im doing 245-40-18 and 265-40-18. I have the ISF set up on my IS250 so next set on those will be 235-35-19 and 265-35-19 the SC has an insane wheel gap even dropped on TTE springs so im hoping the slight increase in side wall will help and also on that care im looking for better comfort than on my 2IS and thus the 40 series instead of the 35 series tires. I might even consider 40 series on the is250 but that will prob throw off the speedo too much and might even rub...im dropped on fsport. any thoughts?

Hey guys, search got me here... Any feedback from those who have rolled on 265/40/18's over the years? Found a local supplier selling track rubber for insanely cheap (NT01's at $109 each) in this size, so couldn't refuse. This will be a square setup on a super light 18x9.5"+38 Enkei RPF1's for track day duty on an IS-F, with a slight drop - perhaps .5" rear and 1" front on BC Racing coilovers. Anyone with a similar setup have and dealt with any rubbing? I'm expecting some front liner interference at full lock, but shouldn't see that condition often. Thanks!

I recommend 275/30/19 if you can find it (Continental has a great new street tire that compares very well with the "gold standard" Michelin PSS). it's very close to stock diameters at 25.6" and no rubbing despite Megan Racing sending me the wrong "dropped" arms in the rear... I'd basically tracked an entire day at CoTA with the fender looking like it was litteraly resting on the tire, with no evidence of rubbing. That was on 19.9.5 +40's... see my sig.

I have been running Michelin Pilot SuperSports in 265/35/18 rear size on my 07 IS350 with stock suspension and stock wheels for the past few years with no rubbing even during track events with extremely hard cornering. I am planning to try 275/35/18 for my next set of rear tires. This rear wheel/tire combo has survived Houston area roads and some track curbing without cracking so far.
