295/30/18 on an S550

[Alex_murrica]

Can anyone provide insight/pictures of running a 295/30/18 on an S550? I have 3.31's, so I'm not worried about shorter effective gearing, but is there any reason not to go this route? I'd like to get a set of A7's or Toyo RR's to put on my 18x10's and that seems to be the size available. Thanks.

If the car is not lowered it will leave lots of empty space around the wheel. But as far as track goes, the lower tire will of offset the tall 3.31 rear end and be a big plus. Be carefull, most 18x10 wheels will fit over the lousy S550 14" base front discs, but only a few fit over the 15" brembo brakes. Ran 295/30-18 Hoosiers for ages on 18x10 wheels and it worked out very well.

This alone drops ride height with zero suspension change and you do not look like ans SUV. but with some drop (FP track package) you will fill out wheel wheels better and lower more for better track package. That is the cheapest bang for buck.

I have Apex EC7's. Glad to know it's a good fit, thanks.

I have the FRPP track package and I'm also close to Phoenix. Thanks for the tip!
