Wheel width for 315mm squared?

[roguegeek]

Do you have the ability to mount and balance your own tires? The time and money spent swapping tires all the time gets old......hell, it gets old when you have your own equipment.

I will probably not be doing the mounting myself. Moving tires around depending on usage is something I'm going to want to try before spending another $6k on additional wheels, though. To your point, I could easily see myself being annoyed with the time and cost, but I'll probably try it for the first year before grabbing a dedicated set of wheels.

I just mounted a 295/30 A052 on an 11.5. It fit fine.

How did it look? The last thing I'd want is for it to have that way too stretched look. Any other feedback you can offer on this would be much appreciated.

I will readily admit that I don't understand the willingness to stretch the DD tires past the recommended specs for no advantage while at the same time unwilling to stretch the race tires.

Well that's not my intention. My intention is to find a wheel width that works well for 315 squared on track days, but can also fit a tire that is more streetable in terms of tread wear and cost. I don't care what tire size is used for the street as long as it's safe. I picked 295/30 because I saw it being a more widely available, but I'm an idiot and I'm guessing there's better options? If you know something else that fits that criteria, I'd love to hear it. Would a 285/35 be better with the large sidewall? Is there something larger out there? Or... would it be better to drop down to 18x11 without sacrificing notable performance from the 315 and opening up options for the street? Whatever feedback you have, I'm all ears.
