Go read the APEX blog on how they tested various wheels/spacers and available tires to find the best possible fitment with the widest possible rear tires. This is what those who first bought in 2016 went by.

My wife had RE-71Rs for track tires on her 335is Coupe and they were great but now she has the same setup as I do on her 2018 M3 Comp. If the RE-71R came in an 18" 305 width, I'd certainly consider them.

You like the RE-71R and hate Nitto, but I'm not you.
Nah, I don't hate the Nitto's, I've just accepted they're inferior to the Yokohama 52s and Bridgestone 71s in *most* ways. I say that in an objective manner. A 285 71R is prolly just as fast or faster than the 305 NT01.

Just because you track a lot does not mean you have/should get 18inch wheels.
