Widest wheel and tires

bwco · 02-27-2009, 02:33 AM

It's about time to replace the rear tires already. So...
Just wondering who fitted the widest wheel and tires on the back?
Also, what kinda camber setting did you get if it's a custom alignment with the tire?
*personal experience only please, also, precise numbers please !

What offset on ur wheels?

bwco · 02-27-2009, 02:49 PM

still running stock wheels now, but looking for aftermarket soon if the style fits my taste.

if you go 245/275 setup for 19's is it the same profile as the 245/285 combo mentioned above?

245/35/19 275/30/19?

STALKER · 03-05-2009, 01:31 PM

255 front and 275 rear would be nice.

That's what I have going on tomorrow.

STALKER · 03-05-2009, 05:47 PM

IMO, car does not have initial front bite. Needs more rubber and more camber upfront to sort out some of its handling issues.

C634U2C · 03-05-2009, 07:30 PM

Anybody with these wider rubbers have any pictures on stock wheel?

PatSC23 · 03-05-2009, 07:38 PM

what would the proper profile be for a 225 front 19" wheel? 35 as well?

anyone run 255/275?

B.E.R.U.A.N.G · 03-05-2009, 07:44 PM

I just ordered Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 265/35/18 for rear.

And it's as wide as 275 (that was the disc tire guy said).

Is it possible to use 285 for rear, using the stock wheel??

soldier2304 · 03-05-2009, 08:03 PM

I'm almost certain 275 would fit with little to maybe no rub at all. But i dont think 285 would fit without rubbing... I'm running 265 in the back and its almost rubbing in the inner spots...

If anyone is running 275/285 on the back with stock wheels. Please post pics!

B.E.R.U.A.N.G · 03-05-2009, 08:28 PM

Soldier, I see in your sig that you got resonator delete, does doing that change the exhaust note? I am trying to find out how's diffrence the sound is...but still no luck

Any chance you got it on Video??

soldier2304 · 03-05-2009, 09:30 PM

i can take a vídeo and post it tomorrow, all i can tell you is, is loud!! But not loud on the annoying sideot just pops a lot more and you hear the engine revs much clearer. Ill post a vid tomorrow

BerBer63 · 03-05-2009, 09:32 PM

Resonator delete with X-Pipe or 2 straight pipes? I was thinking of doing the same, but heard it doesn't do much for sound.

So no rubbing even lock to lock? All that tire fits under the fender wells with out sticking out? Is your car stock ride height, lowered or have the full performance package? I so the first pics you had but they were low res. I would like to see higher res pics from better angle that show the wheel figment.

soldier2304 · 03-05-2009, 09:55 PM

Im running straight pipes, got no idea how an x-pipe sound is like

I think that is because you have installed the springs (H&R) That is probably why its almost rubbing.

OPM GT3 Is running 285 in the back on 19"s and not rubbing and I think he has OEM springs

not following you - they told u for the same tire the 265 and 275 are the same width?

BerBer63 · 03-06-2009, 12:14 PM

I think he meant the 265 sizes like a 275 or they run big.
