needs pics lowered with 295/45/18's

[rojizostang]

I though i posted this somewhere already, but i can't seem to find the thread i started, oh well

if you're running 295/45/18's on the rear with a pro kit or something similar, please post some pics. i just won a set of gt500 wheels on ebay and i'm looking at what tires i want to put on them, thanks.

I don't know what you are running for rear tires right now, but 295/45/18 tires are 28.5" tall (compared to stock heigh ~ 27) and heavy. With GT500 wheels, you'd be over 60 lbs a corner.

My guess is they'd make your car a fair bit slower.

how wide are those rear rims and what's the offset, por favor

they won't be track wheels and tires. going to a 28.5 tire and wheel will also help out on the highway with the 4.56's. i have a set of 265/40/18 mt et streets that i use at the track

295/45/18 with pro kit

sits pretty good, no rubbing ever

 

[rojizostang]

that looks awesome! what tire size are you running on the front? i'm trying to decide between 255/45 and a 255/50 right now

 

[96blowncobra]

255/45/18 in the front

ive seen ebay have some 295 goodyear tires for-sale. im pretty sure there GT500 takes offs in great condition. Might wanna check it out.

 

[rojizostang]

all the gt500 take off wheels with tires have 285/40's on the back. i want 295/45's...that's why i bought a set of rims without tires so i could put the ones i want on them

 

[Steedman07]

I would be careful with the Eibach pro kit and 45's..Might rub no?

check post #7

 

[Steedman07]

ahha, didnt see that..How wide is his rim?

 

[96blowncobra]

its a 10" rim

 

[rojizostang]

that's a good question, i forgot to ask him that one. but looking at the picture with all the lip that wheel has it must be at least 9.5 or 10....i'm guessing 10. i think the gt500 wheels at 9.5 with a 45mm offset won't have any trouble clearing to the outside

 

[rojizostang]

i'm stoked now, just need to find the right deal on the right tires and i'll be all set

 

[96blowncobra]

i found mine at discount tire... being that i dont race my car because its too slow lol i just went with a hankook they carry for $168 and they fit the car really well.

 

[rojizostang]

i'm looking at the hankooks also....i found the 255's and 295's from www.onlinetires.com delivered for $606. i printed out the page and i'll take it to discount tire by my house and see if i can get them to price match or beat that price or throw in mounting and balancing for nada
