Tires Question

Looking at upgrading the rear tires to R888Rs and keep the sport cup 2s in the front. I have the stock 19/20" black wheels, so I'm curious what size I should look for in the R888Rs? Would 315s fit without any rubbing?

Thanks

tire size is dependant on wheel size, not just if they can squeeze them on

Please never, ever mix different types of tyres front and rear; it's a recipe for disaster.

The R888s will be noisier on the street and worse in the rain.

good question, what is the widest tire you can put on the OEM 19 / 20 combo?

Why so? This is a weekend car, so I really don't care about noise or performance in the rain, I have other cars for that.

The Toyo R888 and/or R888R 315/30-20 size fits fine on the stock 20x11” rear wheel.
R888R is less noisy, and newer, than R888.
