Wheel & Tires Opinion.

Hey guys,

Right now this is my current set up,

Michelin Super Sport PS2 ZP
255/35/18
225/40/18

Enkei Raijin Black
18x8
18x9.5

I'm getting bored of my set up, so I found a buyer within minutes to take my set up now the thing is, should I just keep it or I was thinking of going square all around? I was thinking 57Xtremes ?

Questions is, Square set up better than staggered? Talking about traction, I do tracking once in a blue moon, I do time attacks once a month.

I was thinking square set up would be good because if my tires are ruined in the rear I can always swap to the front ones.

So i was thinking
Gram Lights 57 Xtreme 18x9.5 +40 (STD Spec) Matte graphite or Black
all around

I was thinking as well for tires 245/35/18 or 255/35/18
Will this decrease traction or performance?

I do the occasional time attack/lapping?
