So with -3.5 camber on Bilstein Clubsports if I want to run 305/645-18 DH Pirelli Slicks up front with full clearance the best solution would be an 18x10.5 ET15?

I don't think that will clear. A 25mm barely clears on a 10" Your adding 6.25mm for the 0.5" and then subtracting 10 so 3.75mm more to try and clear the clubsports. I think you will need at least a 5mm spacer with that. You will have plenty on the outside at -3.5, so even a 10mm offset would be fine. Running a small spacer isn't the end of the word either though.

I do not know the answer to this as the spacer no spacer/wheel offset in front depends on the position of the lower perch. But 18X10 will work with a 10-12mm spacer if you're using 18X10+25 and coilovers that have the lower perch about where the top of the tire is (I've done this). For 10.5-11 you're best off with a 15mm. But you'll likely be rubbing the front liner at full lock.

Anyone tried Hoosier R7s yet? I don't have any experience with them before and from what I've read they run a little wide. Which sizes should I be looking at for my setup?
I'm running 18x10 +25 and 18x11 +44. Thinking 275/35/18 and 315/30/18. Anyone run this before? |

My street set up is 275/35/18 and 305/35/18. Very close to OEM diameters.

I've got Apex SM-10's on order in 18x10 et25 and 18x11 et44, curious if anyone has run Pirelli DH 275/645/18 and 305/645/18 with this setup?

You're leaving a lot of tire on the table running the 275 up front. You can run 305s up front no problem with that setup. I have the same wheels and offsets and everything clears perfect with 305s up front with a 10mm spacer to clear the suspension.

So no rubbing with your 295/315 Hoosier? What wheels do you have them on? I have Fl-10s with ET25/ET44 on their way.. I'm on JRZ RS Pros with very aggressive camber.

Fronts are very tight and would probably rub if lowered a ton. |

Apex SM10 and FL5, 18x10 ET25 and 18x11ET44. The use of a spacer with these offsets up front is just to clear the inside of the tire making contact with your suspension. For my setup I use a 10mm spacer and it works perfectly.
Pirelli slicks run quite a bit smaller, see the photos for an example. 4 305/645/18 Pirelli slicks stacked up next to 4 305/650/18 Continental Slicks The 305 Continentals are no problem in the rear, but up front they stick out significantly. They bulge more on the tire when mounted so I needed to use more of a spacer to get the inside to clear the spring, which then only pushes the tire out even further to an unworkable poke, even with -3.7 camber. The 650 sidewall rubs on the fender liner too so it's not workable all around unless you do some serious fender work. I don't think you really need more tire than the 305 (295 realistically right?) Pirelli in the rear, at least for me personally. I never struggle with rear grip even with an aggressive E85 tune making 560whp/wtq. |
