295" ok on 18X9.5

[twitchalot]

Im going with 275/35/18 in the front and want the widest i can go with in the rear.I know I can get away with 285's Thnx for all input.

 

[GREG]

I would go with 285s thats pretty wide for for a 9.5 rim

 

[twitchalot]

Thnx greg ya I think im going to go with the 285 and just keep my 10.5 with 315"s just for the occasional drag nights

 

[1BIGMOFO]

you can get 315 Nitto's on a 9" wheel.... Shouldnt be any prblem at all getting them on a 9.5" wheel. Talk to Tim (Timspony) He would know best..

 

[Timspony]

Only Nitto 315 Drag Radials will work on a 9" wheel! ....I'm running Nitto DR's, 305/35-18's on a 10" wheel on my DSG!

 

[twitchalot]

How bad is the wheel hop on those DR's Tim?

 

[NYstang]

ona 9.5" wheel, i wouldnt go bigger then a 295!

 

[twitchalot]

So will 295's bulge.

 

[Timspony]

^^^ Maybe a little! ...Wheel hop, what's that!

 

[NYstang]

So will 295's bulge.

slightly- think of it as lip protection! 305's will worse. 285 should be about flush

but this all depends on brands, since some run wide or narrow. for example, 315 goodyears vs 315 sumitomo's, the goodyears run nearly an inch wider!

 

[Timspony]

Any luck with the wheels/tires?

 

[twitchalot]

No Tim I have looked at every tire known to man and cant make up my mind.
Thought I had my mind made up last week then found a pic of the sidewall
and hatted them.What would U go with?Bye the way I already have the wheels AZA Z1.GT3 reps

 

[Timspony]

^^ Nice wheels!! (I'd go with Nitto 555 tires!)

 

[twitchalot]

Any input on the nitto invo?

 

[twitchalot]

Ya know what thats it im going 275/35 fronts 295/35 rears nitto and thats my final answer.

 

[Timspony]

[twitchalot]
