Im having a tough time figuring out what fast DOT R setup will work on my 2010 CS for Autocross. I have a set of 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear Enkei wheels. I have a vareity of spacers so can space everything ok but finding optimum fast DOT R tire seems difficult. What sizes are people running without issues of running on stock suspension in front? I tried a 275/35/18 BFG RS1 and it was rubbing on the bottom of the spring perch (tire too tall) and was rubing front fender skirt. I also hate the BFG on narrow wheels - they have overly soft sidewalls and the compound still isnt as good as hoosier A6/A7 for cooler venues I frequent.
Hoosier seems to be inbetween A6 and A7 on our sizes. I could do 295/30/18 rear and 255/35/18 front in A7. I think ideal size would be 265 front but doesnt exist and afraid 275/35/18 is too tall. Is the 295/255 A7 fast setup now? Help! I want to run with ASP EVOS but feel im at real disadvantage with tires available to me.
You need to be more specific in your title. There are those that AX and then there are those that track. From reading on here that means 2 different tire sizes. I looked at your thread based on track. Therefore I can't help you - not being a mind reader. Sorry.

And then there are those of us who Hillclimb. Not asking for mind reading services just a good Autocross/Hillclimb setup using stock struts and 18x8.5 front wheel and 18x10. Thanks!
I'm a former hillclimber. Its unlikely that you will get your tires anywhere near the limit. I'd go for BFG R1S in 245/40 F and 275/35 R. Hoosier equivalent would also work.
Think Im going with 255/35/18 A7 front and 295/30/18 A7 rear. Just checked dimensions on that 255. The new A7 is pretty wide in 255 size. Wider than my 265/35/18 Hankook that I currently run.
You need to check the actual tread size. The 255-35 is at least as big as most 265's and generally everyone in road racing is using the 285-30. The 295 is taller and not as wide. The 255/285 is a very good combo.

Yeah I checked size however Hoosier doesn't make 285 in A7 yet. Word from Hoosier is that they won't for couple more months until they sell excess inventory of 285s. I didn't want to mix two different tires A6 rear and a7 front. So will run 295 short term.
