18" Staggered:
F: 18x10" ET25 - 275/35-18
R: 18x11" ET44 - 295/35-18 or 305/35-18

18" Square:
F/R: 18x10" ET25 - 275/35-18

A square setup does reduce understeer and usually provides a bit more balance to the car. However, the new F80 chassis does have quite a bit of torque, and we recommend running more tire in the rear to be able to control the power. Therefore, we recommend going with the staggered setup.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Matt, thanks very much for your helpful advice!
I'm saving my shekels for a set of FL-5s for my 2016 F80.
