Nitto 555 275/40/18 on STEEDA 9.5x18 all around.
Being able to rotate is important.
They track great on the road and excellent, after they heat up, on the road course.
I have five track days on these and 17k miles so far.
I should get three track days and 10k miles more.
Great tire, STEEDA recommended them.

That is what just arrived for me yesterday but I won't have the car out until mid to late April.
Sorry, the in-the-garage picture with the flash and the flourescent tube lighting doesn't really do them justice.+1 on being able to rotate...

If I were to run 275's all around, then it would be pointless to get 18x10 wheels for the rear when I could just get 18x9's? Is there any advantage to having a 10" wheel out back? I'm guessing they're for 285's or 295's?

Nothing better on-the-car but see below...
The one with three tires are (left to right) stock 17 X 8 inch Bullitts, stock 18 X 8.5 inch fan-blades and the 18 X 9.5 inch Pentars. The stock Bullitts and fanblades still have the OEM tires on them. Forgive the smudges on the Pentars. These pictures were taken right after unwrapping the shipping/packaging and they still have tape residue and hand print smudges all over them...
