Default wtb 305/35/18's, hoosier r's

I was set to burn off the goodyears this weekend with the intention of swapping them out for the set of scrubs I bought 6 months ago and checked them today, 2 of the hoosiers are already corded and another looks in bad shape.

anybody got hoosier r's laying around that are in decent shape? have craig's 2nd chance tires done well by everyone? do the 335's fit on 18x10.5? I know I'll need spacers but do they fit?

I think 305 is the widest you can squeeze on a 10.5" rim. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable going any wider on mine.

I have a pair of Hoosiers that will work on rear Z06 wheels. They are Grand AM Rolex Series tires. Very similar compound the the RS305's. The size on the tire is 295/660-18 but they are actually a little wider and a little taller than the 305/30-18's. Many people on the forum have used them with success on Z06 rear wheels.

I have switched to Spec Miata and no longer need them. They have 1 lap at VIR on them. They were used on a tire testing day.

Asking $350obo for the pair. (They are about $350 each new)

Craig has no tires available right now. He has 14 people on a waiting list.

FedEx Ground is a great(cheap) way to ship tires.
