Default track tire sizes for OEM 8.5 rim?

I found a used set of RA1s decent price
sizes are 245/40/18 and 275/35/18

Will it fit? (I have a call into my local tire place, waiting for callback too)
Has anyone run this on the stock V rim?

Those are the exact tire sizes i ran on my V for over 3 years. No issues at all.

Some may say the 275/35 18 is not ideal for racing...I only know that in daily driving conditions I had zero problems.

It is what I run too. However, I feel that the car is less neutral balanced with the staggered set now. Car seemed to handle corners better with a matching sized tire
