Hey there, was curious what the consensus is on tires
size for this car on track use. I know about the different brands.
but curious tire sizes and wheel sizes. Thanks!

There are more tire options if you use 19" wheels but an 18" wheel combo will be a few pounds lighter all other things being equal.
As far as width, I fit 295s with zero rubbing. I could fit 305s up front with a 5 mm spacer.

For me 19 square gives me a lot of tire choices, ability to rotate tires, ample clearance between calipers, and a decent amount of sidewall to keep handling sharp while not risking an easy blow-out at a berm. The car appreciates more rear grip but if you enjoy rotating a car through a turn with your right foot, a square setup is more engaging.

Thank you for this im about to order wheels and more than likely will do a square set up

Keep in mind the 18s generally have better heat dissipation due to thicker sidewalls.
I'm considering a square set of 18s because both RE71Rs and A052 come in 295 35 18.

I roasted my 4 v601 tires yesterday in a drift day and replaced them with RE71RS today.

275/35/19 (same as OEM) on 19x10 rim (same as OEM but w/12mm more offset). The RE71RS tire profile/shape on the 19x10 looks great to me.

im running 305/30/19 on 19x11 square. 12mm front spacers and using the APEX wheels
