Ok - can't find my orginal thread, and the search function isn't working right now. I remember many people have said that for autoX that the V710 are excellent. Now that I know the tire, need to decided on what size. Since I have aftermarket brakes, I have to stay with 18" wheels.

The V710's come in 245 and 285 in the 18" wheel. I would like to stay with the same width of tire to balance the car all the way around. If I went with the 285's I would need to get at least a 9.5 width wheel.

So the question is - will a 285 fit in the front?

If so any one know the offset?

 

just looking around with a 275 mounted, i'm not sure another 10mm will fit on the front. what type of wheels are you going with?

are you sure it's impossible to find a right offset wheel to clear the calipers.. or are the calipers so massive it wont fit under a 17?

 

Have not bought the wheels, trying to get the right tire/wheel combo. Not sure if 17's will fit on my 355mm (14"), 6 piston brakes. I would like to get 17's since I would have much better wheel/tire choices for the track!

 

yeah. with a 14" bbk i think if it just had the right offset it would have no problem clearing. have you tried messaging j ritt (stoptech represetative on forums) and asking about offsets? i know he ran a 17x9 enkei on his car with stoptechs. actually.. he's selling them right now...

 

Checked last night - 17 will not fit my calipers, j ritt has 335mm rotors and the 20 mm makes a difference.

 

Lookup 350ZNV, he's got 285F and 315R on 18" wheels. He's got the VRT setup.

 

No need to look me up for I am here lol. Anyways I run at 285/30/18 on a 9.5" Nismo LMGT4 with +30 offset. The catch is, it has to be just that. A 10" rim wont work and neither will a 285/35/18, and the offset has to be +30. There are lots of ways to fit a 285 in the rear though.

 

Have a look at this topic for 17" wheels

5Zigen FN01R-C. I seem to remember someone selling his "17x9 all around" package?

 

Thanks for the info, looks like 5Zigen has the same brakes as me. If a 17" will fit, than my tires will be so much cheaper!!!

 

The post I linked to is still "active", feel free to add to it. The original poster went for a different 18" wheel in the end. But you might still have some options.
