I ran 255's on the road course for quite awhile before going to 275's and at this time I honestly couldn't tell you if I felt a difference.
Note: that was with 275's out back.

Hummn that's interesting. I think though with a 325 out back, the 275 with balance it out more...less understeer. What engine did you have up front?

Stielow's last two Camaro's ran a 10.0X18 front with a 275/35-18 tire and both cars won Optima.
I'm not savvy on Ride Tech's recommend wheel fitments. I've contact them several times and asked, but they stated they do not want to be responsible for wheel/tire fitments that may or may not fit.
Anyone familiar with the RideTech's suspension set up's and wheel/tire fitments?

Thanks for the info on the tire width sizes, this will help to chose what tires to run and if I do end up going with a 9.5 or 10 up front.
When you say they run wide, is this simply from a fitment perspective? I noticed that Pzero's have a square sidewall but say the BFG's G force have a flaring area by the rim that make them seem wider but the contact points on all the tires may be the same or do they in fact have wider contact points?
