Default Kumho 710s on 7.5" wheels

Has anyone else mounted the Kumho 275 710's on the stock 17" wheels?

I mounted a set tonight and must say it was a HUGE pain in the ***, but doable. Friday I'll find out if they fit on the car!

The Hoosiers in a 275 fit fine, but I'm not sure sure about the 710s. They look visibly larger than the 710s, and I fear may be too much tire for the front rims. Hopefully with a spacer they'll fit without rubbing, if not I'm going to have to run 710s in the back and Hoosiers in the front this weekend in Arkansas

They worked perfect chris used them this weekend and the car was very fast 35psi front 31 psi rear seemed to be the rigth pressures.

Im running a total of 27mm offset in the front and there is about 3/4 in. between tire and upper control arm thingie.

Also the 1/8in toe out front and 1/4in toe in on the back make the car handle so awesomely. the car was almost perfectly neutral and super fast. I give the car a 8.5 out of 10 right now.

Goodluck in Arkansas, I'll be in Jax for Sediv #1.

Chris....as I mentioned to del105...you may find that even lower pressures work better for the Kumhos.We never had a chance to run Kumhos on our Blue Z but on the SM2 Vette we ran at Nats last year(3050 lbs) on 335/30/17's we ran 28F/26R and all the SS and SM2 Vettes ran below 30. Kumhos like low pressure...when you hear a "flopping" noise you have gone to low but grip increases until that point. Do good in Ark.

Yeah, I've read on other forums that the 710s are really large for their size.
