Getting some new wheels need advice
Read through some other threads on this topic but I still need some advice. Ideally going with a square setup 18x10 or 18x11 on all 4. I wanted an Auto X and eventually road course ready wheel and tire setup just don't know if the 18x11 is possible. I'm prepared to roll fenders and use the BFH on fender wells so that's no issue. I will most likely be doing an LS spindle swap later on for a BBK. I can get an adj PHB and whatever else I need to make sure the susp geometry is correct.
Car is lowered quite a bit about 1.8 all around? So clearance may become an issue so that's why I'm posting here to see if anyone else has this type of setup. Also would like to know what kind of tire sizes would work. For 18x10s was thinking 275/40r18(unlikely), 275/35r18, 285/30r18, or 295/30r18 didn't see too many options with a 35 series for some reason. Probably going to run Toyo R888's. The only reason I mentioned 275's on a 18x10 is because the R888's run wide. And most other tires run narrow. if I get 11's I'll run 315/30r18's. Any help would be appreciated. Car doesn't see more than 4k street miles a year so I'm not too concerned with "R888's wear out too fast"

Ok that's some good info. Setup then will most likely be 18x10 offset around +40 or 42 ish from what the rep was telling me for a true square set up that I can rotate without issue. I'll try and find some 285/35r18 tires just the toyos I wanted were only available in 285 and 295 as a 30 series maybe because the sidewall is so stiff it won't matter too much that it's a thin sidewall, on the other hand I could run 275/35r18 because from what I am reading these tires run wide. The 275 and 295 are under $275 a tire but for some reason the 285 is about $350 a tire lol so although 285 is ideal I think I'd go with the less expensive tires a tiny stretch won't hurt using the 275's especially since this car will be specc'd for more technical driving anyway. Car also has UMI front and rear sway bars (35mm and 22mm), so hopefully I won't have clearance issues since I know @Formula218 mentioned little rubbing on his Strano bar but thinking about it I'll be fine though since his 18x10.5's fit fine without issue. Thanks to @hokeplaya05 as well for the heads up. Both of your cars look so mean with the respective set ups man I can't wait!
