Toyo R888 Vs Advan A048

I wanting some tracks tire that I could also drive everyday 265/35/18 for my Advan 18x9 RGII's. Anyone running these tires that could give me some feed back? Also, any clearance issues? I was hoping to not roll my fenders. Currently running 245/40/18 T1R's with Tein Flex Coilovers and it look like I got some room on my 06 Evo MR.

you'll have to roll your rears and front rubbing at full lock depending on your drop

From what I have learned about tires, a 265 on a 9 inch rim will feel very sloppy because of the unstretched sidewalls. You may want to consider a smaller tire as an Rcomp tire will still have amazing grip over street tires. You will also save some dough on a smaller tire. Odds are with the 265 you will need to roll the rears... a 255 would likely avoid this. I am going to roll my rears in about two weeks when I get my 265 NT05s on RPF1 18x9.5 Good luck man!
