I spoke to them before I ordered them. A lot of guys run the on 10s. They tend to run small.

I had heard the Nittos run small but didn't know that about M&H, thanks for the info.

That looks real nice Earl..Do you know how tall the rears are with the 305/35's?

 

[retfr8flyr]

That was mistyped, they are 305/45 MT's on the rear and are 28.8 according to MT. I edited the original. They are my DD tires for the warm months and I really like them. Handle real well and I have been caught in the rain a few times with them without any problems.

This is when I had 245/40/18 on the front

Then same tires on the front with 305/45/18 NT05R's on the back

Car was also on eibach pro springs

I LOVE that rake even if its not the smartest handling wise & stuff.. but I don't think Billy's car could handle that with the aggressive chin.. it'd probably be touching the ground?

Would have to do the math, wonder if an NT05 275/40ZR18 & NT05R P305/45R18 would work.. (the P315/40R18 would be wider and cut down the height difference but Nitto says 10.5" rim minimum)

 

[Steedman07]

I think a 35 tire is out. ANd depending on the tire, the 45 is out maybe too. So I am leaning towards a 305/40 18 tire. Maybe a drag radial, maybe not..

Hmmm only 305/40/18 I know of is the Nitto 555R drag radial again

285/40 and 255/45

Or a 295..

 

[Steedman07]

Any opinions on these? http://wheelreplicas.com/18-inch-tires/vredestein-sessanta-295/35zr18/

I wont be using them on the track, just street driving and not in the rain..

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.....

18X9 front 18X10 rear, 255/45/18 front, 295/45/18 rear. Nitto 555s

 

[Steedman07]

Things have certainly changed on that car, hey Paul?

In that size? too short, won't fill the wheel well (I thought your outgoing set needed more tire height but I know that was calc'ed for the track & gearing)

 

[Steedman07]

You might be right. It would have to be lowered more for it to look right. So maybe a 295 or 315/40 will be the ticket. And go with a 255/40 or 45 up front for the 9 inch rim..

 

[stkjock]

255/45 on the front for sure

 

[Steedman07]

255/45 on the front for sure

Ya,I agree. Thats done..

I am going to search for cars with 295 or 315 /35 x 18 with a 1 1/4 inch drop in the back.

NT05 275/40ZR18 & NT05R P315/40R18

26.57 & 28.03, give you some rake and meaty tires.. they dont have anything tall enough in the NT05 down near 255 width and the 275 is spec'ed for a 9" wheel. Inch & half taller rear, my 255/40 & 295/40 were 26 & 27.3
