Default Do Goodyear F1 GSD3's run wide? I'm running 235/40R18 Toyo T1-R now because...

the 225/40R18 T1S ran narrow (a 225/40R18 T1S was like a 225/40R18 S03 Pole Position). These T1-Rs rubbed until I rolled my fenders, though. I'm inclined to order 235/40R18 GSD3's but don't want them to be too wide.

I have 18x8" OZ SLs and my fenders are rolled. TIA.

Default I run 245/40 R17 Goodyear F1 GSD3s with no rolled fenders - on 17x8.5 ET 27.

Here is the link to tire rack's specs on these tires. I'll bet they have Toyo specs too.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2FSpec.jsp%3Fmake%3DGoody ear%26amp%3Bmodel%3DEagle%2BF1%2BGS-D3%26amp%3BtirePageLocQty%3D">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?make=Goodyear&amp;model=Eagle+F1+GS-D3&amp;tirePageLoc

Default Yes, 27. SSR comps. They come out to the fender edges. Here's a link to a pic - the Santorin car.

It's since been lowered about 1.5 inches. No more "allroad" ride height.<ul><li><a href="http://gallery.audiworld.com/gallery/awframes/indexs4shootout.html">http://gallery.audiworld.com/gallery/awframes/indexs4shootout.html</a</li></ul>

Not really. They run wider than the stock Blowtenzas, but not at all compared with the S03s.

Likely not. Mid-week, bad timing. Maybe an event later in the season? Turbo Lady is also knockin'...
