haven't heard of anyone down sizing. Some people go for 275 or 285.

I have a new pair of 275 35 18 eagle F1's fitted to the rear, perfect fit! Even lowered the car a bit with no rub what so ever.

There's often single tyres on Ebay

Just spotted a single 265 35 18 Potenza rear for £70 with 6mm tread

I went with bigger on both ends to keep a close front/rear ratio and balance but yet keep up with the HP increases.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position 245/40R18 front and 285/35R18 rear.

- Fronts rub a bit at full lock.
- Rears MAY rub at full suspension compression on the rubber clam seal. If it does you will see a rub mark on the rubber seal. Remove it and trim the beam to which it attaches. Reset the rubber piece and you're fixed.

Your cross sectional width WILL vary between tires so please keep that in mind.
