I have been asked what my current wheel and tire set up is on the SVMC M2. If you have been following the build you will notice that I started out with a square setup, but then I did go to a staggered setup for a while. While that allowed for a slightly wider tire in the rear I ended up going back to a square setup because I did run into some clearance issues when I went to a 285/305 setup.
I currently run Apex FL-5 ET40 18x10.5 satin black with Nitto NT-01 275x. This setup doesn’t require any fender rolling and it clears the Sparta big brake kit and KW clubsport suspension. Because the wheels are 10.5 yet the tires are 275/35/18 the tires are stretched a bit to give them a slightly larger contact patch. I have found this to be a great all round setup without compromising much of anything. The Nitto NT-01 give me about 20 heat cycles so about 4 full track days. They are my preferred track tires as they are very progressive, very grippy, and handle the heat cycles well. They are not the best for the street as they are loud and they are a bit slick for wet roads but given I am in CA I have no problem using them on the street simply to get to the track.
You got to love the simplicity of a square setup that just works.
