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 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)

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

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.

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!!

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.

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?

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.

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.

Just fyi, i know people have done it, but I'd never track my car with 275's on 9" rims. ****, 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
