So, during the statewide run my 245/40-18's performed much differently stretched than they did normally on the stockers. I didn't feel as confident so i am thinking of going up to 265/35-18's. Thoughts? My buddy owns a tire shop and he sell a W rated tire called the Fierce made by Goodyear that comes in a 255/40-18 UHP, thoughts?

The conditions of the day could have been different... (colder tires).

Nah, Grungepup brought that up too and the ambient temps were about the same as the last time we ran. I actually looked it up on weather.com :lol: It was good and hot. They felt okay but I was breaking loose more that usual. |

You didn't have any rubbing issues in the front with 9" wide wheel and 255mm wide tire? That does sound pretty excellent. You don't happen to have a picture of that setup do you? Thanks Ross

Its like those educational tv shows... "Hey did you know that ....." LOL |
So how much tread is left on these tires? 265s would be good. 255 no so good.

Are you purposefully sidestepping the question? jk I say you go with 265s.

Waiting for J to post his new pics :rolleyes: :uhh: :spank:
|
Its gonna have to wait until next week sometime. My parents are coming into town so I can't go put the spacers on. It will happen though.

:wallbash::tear:
|
j u goin hellaflushe or wat
|
Nah just seeing what 9.5 +23 with 245s looks like since 9.5 +22 is a common size in wheels I want. I'm pretty sure it's gonna push the wheels out just enough for me not to like it. I'm happy with my +28.
|
Youre making me rethink my specs as well. Like you im considering 9 +22 which is close. Im waiting for your pics to give me a idea of what it will look like. I dont think it will stick out to much. I dont think it would look too bad since ross has 9 +25 and looks pretty good. Ross seems to be pretty flush with his fender which is the look im going after.
|
if it sticks out go lower how many times do i need to say this
|
but you aren't as low as Ross either. 9.5 +22 would stick out the same as 9 +16. 9 +22 is equal to my 9.5 +28. approximately edit: I'd be lower than Sifu if I could. I like my car to pick up dirt.
|
so how much trouble would i have fitting 18x10.5+20 in the rears?...i kind of want to go staggered and i already know that the 18x9+25 would fit in the front.
|
Look at Sifu's car and that is what needs done.
|
camber, stretch at least 245s, roll flat, get rid of bumper tab, be on coilovers
if you want to be on 265 you will need to pull |
