I should be getting my Arc8 (18x9 ET30) next week and looking into tires. After doing some searching, I have settled for Yoko A052 in 255/40-18 (squared setup). However, I hear they run wider than normal. Any experiences with this? Right now the car is on stock M-Sport EDC suspension but will be lowered on Bilstein PSS10 in 2 weeks.

Thanks!
Thanks for the question! We generally recommend a 255/35-18 for these wheels so the extra height of the 255/40 setup combined with the fact that the A052s run wide will likely cause some rubbing. If you can source a 255/35-18 A052 that would be the preferable size, or if necessary you can drop down to a 245/40-18. Considering you plan on lowering the car, the 255/35 tires will likely be the most ideal setup although you may need to dial in some additional front negative camber after lowering to clear your fenders.
