Given the more aggressive offset, the taller sidewall of a 275/40-18 would only make fitment more difficult, which is why we recommend the 275/35-18 in this scenario.

The reduction in overall diameter is about 4.8% or 32.4mm. This will trade a reduced top speed in each gear for a noticeable bump in acceleration.

Ultimately it comes down to what your priorities are for the car. 285 square can be done, but it'll definitely take some work.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for that!

What work would need to be done?

I currently have -2.5 camber in the front and -2 in the rear.

Car is not slammed as well but flush in the rear and 1 finger in the front.
