My car is on 18x8.5 APEX ARC-8 wheels with 255/35 tires at all corners (pilot super sports -- I don't do much track work these days, so they make more sense).

Not many (read: no one) have been able to fit more than a 255 wide tire in the front (I think some race shop did it on a 228, but it was an actual race car, not a street car). If you want track tires, advans are ok, but you might want to look at Bridgeston RE-71Rs or Hankook RS4 or Dunlop Direzza II Star Specs. They're all pretty sticky.

Would running a set of original wheels and r spec tyres in the same specs as 225 fronts, 245 rears work well with the alignment/camber plates?
Or original rear 8inch rims all round with 245 tyres do the job nicely?
