+40 +50? come on?
thats STOCK!

+12 is a different story.

Mostly because the thread is about wheels THAT FIT ;) on a stock car....

I have conceded to the foolishness on the aggressive wheel thread...but this is not that

i want to run the NT05s but they only come in 235/245/275 nothing in between.

i have 19x9 +40 w/ 245/35's and no rubbing at all. With your +45 offset you can get 265's to fit with minimal camber (no rolling)

Ok so I have finally got my rims comin Work EmotionCR Kai 18x9.5 offset 38 but im unsure on tyre sizes 255/40/18 was sugested but so was 255/35/18 .
I would like to lower in the near future so whats the best tyre fit.

04blue8 10-02-2009 12:52 PM

front- 18x8.5
rear- 18x9.5
front- +32
rear- +35
i am not lowered....yet :)

tires are 255/45/18...i think?

TopGear8 10-02-2009 01:20 PM

^Fronts will be fine, rears will be fine with a 255 and some negative camber.

hmmm what the hell does that mean? lol

TopGear8 10-02-2009 01:24 PM

Google: Alignment.

04blue8 10-02-2009 01:25 PM

okay i just did that and understand what negative camber is.... so now how do i do that and why exactly do i need it?

TopGear8 10-02-2009 01:33 PM

Google: Alignment Shop. :)

Really you don't need to ask us these quesetions, they are out there...

Take your car to any Tire Kingdom, Firestone, AAA...etc and tell get an alignment after you get your wheels. If there is no rubbing, then you don't need anymore negative camber. You already have around -1 degrees of negative camber from the factory.

the nt05s dont come in 265 though..

will 245s have vertical sidewalls or will it stretch?

Ross_Dawg 10-02-2009 06:55 PM

well if you have your heart set on nt05's, then 245's are your only choice lol. They will fit fine and yes you will have a tiny bit of stretch even though these run wide. 275's are too wide (if they make them)

yeah they have 275s but i thought they'd be too wide.

i'll have to be happy with 245 or change my mind about the nt05s...

thanks for the help!!

TopGear8 10-02-2009 08:19 PM

^Too wide....BLAH! I have 275 NT05's and they are the sex! :)

HockeyRX-8 10-02-2009 08:26 PM

how do they feel over the azenis 615 topgear?....cuz I'm thinking of picking up a set of nt05 when mine are done

TopGear8 10-02-2009 08:34 PM

Honestly I cannot tell yet. I just put them on Monday and have AutoX'ed or tracked yet. I have the state championships comming up next weekend so I'll give my full review of the NT05's then.

HockeyRX-8 10-02-2009 08:41 PM

looking foward to it :)

J8635621 10-02-2009 08:42 PM

Am I being retarded right now, but if 9.5 +45 with 275s fits w/o a roll (common rpf1 fitment) why won't 9 +45 with 275s fit w/o a roll?

i dunno if you can fit a 275 on a 9..

J8635621 10-02-2009 10:16 PM

Looking on http://nittotire.com/#index%2Etire%2Ent05%2Esizes it shows 9-10" rim widths are approved with 9.5" being optimal for 275/30/19. Those are just the "approved" sizes, so crazier things are possible.

TopGear8 10-02-2009 11:17 PM

275 is fine for a 9" wheel but it wont be as responsive as say a 255 would on a 9". I'm throwing my 275 Azenis on the wheels I just bought for to use for the rest of the winter. But if your buying tires for a 9" wheel go with 255 or 265.

Ross_Dawg 10-03-2009 01:04 AM

Just fyi, i know people have done it, but I'd never track my car with 275's on 9" rims. Shit, my 275 RA1's on my 9.5" rims have a soft sidewall (they also run super wide though) but still... I wouldnt feel safe with that much rubber on a smaller rim

lilbigz615 10-03-2009 01:45 AM
