I going to get 17x9(+35) with 275/40-17 toyo ra1(all 4) for track use.
anybody with same set up? any problems such as suspension rubbing?
by the way have nismo susp, for now but will be getting more aggressive susp. soon.
thanks,

 

I've run 275/40/17 firehawks on the front after moving them from the rear. I had no problems with clearence. The turn in is great. When I replaced my firehawks I went with 255's all around just to be able to rotate the tires. I didn't think I need that much rubber that the 275's provided to haul around the track. But I do miss the turn in grip.

thanks for your reply
did your wheels have same offset(35) as mine?
regards

 

I mounted the 275's on stock 17"x 8" rims.

 

I have run 275/40-17 Yokohama AO32R on 17x9 +35 Enkei RPO2J with not fitment issues

I run 17 X 9.5 +35 all around with the 275 RA-1's. Check your clearance between the tire and the upright. I had about 3mm and when I changed my tire noticed that there was some black marks on the upright indicating some rubbage. I put a 5mm spacer on just to be safe.

that was my concern when i put the wheels.
what spacers did you get (where) and what about the lenght of the studs/lug nut.
thanks.

 

I test fitted the 275/40/17 5Zigen FN01RC's in +35 that I run on my z32 and I had slight rubbing in the front. I would assume a 5mm spacer is all that i'll need, although I have yet to purchase and try it.

 

H&R and eibach make them. They both come with longer studs. I got mine (online) from options auto. Livermore performance has them too.
