Over -2 camber, caster/toe not sure, I have the spec sheet as it's constantly being changed after track events...

No rubbing unless making uturn full lock but in the front, weird since Tom Kerr is running 255's up front... It's a perfect setup though, 335's in rear for you though, you will need to modify or cut out the inner plastic fenders or add the GT2 fenders. Ask Tom kerr, he has the solution!

I don't think they are identical GT2 offset, but very close just a tad bit more aggressive! You will not have an issue with these tires on those wheels, especially in those sizes BUT WITH different alignment settings or minor changes within the F/R fenders lining

I didn't realize you were located in Canada! 1010 is located in BC. I'm located in So Ca. I'll check locally. Thanks for the info.

My concern exactly also. The 295 R888's on stock 18x11 fit like a glove. The sidewall is flat, not angling out at all, and very very stiff. Great fit. I'd like to see a shot of the 315's mounted on a 18x11 also and here on how stiff the sidewalls are. What are they like to track on?

34 cold in rear will get well over 40 hot pressures, you want to be at 36 hot rear!

thanks need all the help I can get.

got to admit though, I ran 275/335 Hoosiers at Daytona last week and man I forgot what an massive increase in grip they have over the Toyo's and Cup tires!!

once you run them its hard to run anything else.

I still drive my car to the track sometimes and cant beat the Toyo's for this but I will drop 2-3seconds with them compared to Hoosiers.
