So with some thought I am going to do something close to what you are suggesting. I will run next season with my current wheels which are 18 x 8 and 18 x 10 and widen the track with adapters - cheaper than getting new wheels etc.
If I run these wheels with 285/30 on the rear and 225/40 or 235/40 on the front, then that gives me a half way to where I am considering going and I can see if I need more corner traction for the following season or not 
The issue with the front is that Michelin recommend that you do not go wider than the 225/40 on a 18 x 8 wheel. They say that at a push a 235/40 can be used. |
It makes no sense why Michelin would say that a 235 tire is suboptimal on an 8 inch wheel. It will fit perfectly well without any concerns.
