What offset do you plan to order your 19x10.5 wheels ?
I also wanted CRS but they are backorder in my area and will get the new Conti Extreme Force witch is supposed to be a bit slower but more durable.
I think 305 on 10.5 would be totally fine and with a et10 offset could probably clear the front strut. It will depend on the tire model too since they can vary almost 1/2 inch between brands.

Honestly I’m not sure about my offsets since I just bought them off Casey from Racewerkz lol. Need to ask for it! But it seems like ET18 works for 10.5, and ET22 for 11 inch-according to Apex.
The contis are a great endurance 200tw I’ve hear! From looking at the spec sheet, they also run a bit narrow compared to the Bridgestone. A 285/35/19 measured out to have a 10.5” tread width, and the contis has the same 10.5” tread width at 295. Keep in mind though the widest tire you can fit on a wheel is not always the quickest! Recent article from GRM showed that on a 7” wheel a 205 is actually quicker than a 225. Meaty fitment pleases the eye, I’m a huge fan of them too. Although I hate the look, a slight stretch in the fitment seem to be the quickest; provides the biggest dynamic contact patch it seems.
Yeah we got the first batch of the 23 CRS here in Cali LOL. They’re on pace with RE71RS while wearing like the RT660. Can’t wait to try them next year when they’re more available. Casey said some tires in 315 might need a 5mm spacer in front when running their 19x11 wheel. I might make the jump to 11” in the future but since I already have the 10.5” I’ll run it for now.
I didn’t catch it but what tires were you running? When the CRS become more available I think you could try their 275/35/19. Nankang seems to run wide. For the AR1 at least. Looking forward to your feedback of the Contis! Seems like a great middle ground.
