hmm rsx people are going? im gonna be intimidated..... lol

 

well a spec doesn't specialize in rsx stuff. they're more like 240/350z and some evo stuff. i dont even see any rsx items on their site.

LOL i have nothing to buy for the z.... and dont wanna waste any money on it by buying worthless stuff for my z. lol. im just waiting to jump in my next car..

 

lol...

 

I'm sick of work, my brain has already checked out for the rest of the year.

 

lol. I have ppl here at work telling me what to do with orders they know **** about. f*ck this ****.

 

^what do u do?
shiet, at least youre not drawing parking layouts, exterior elevations, floorplans, and sections all day... expecially parking and sections... if youre even 1" off, gotta start alllll over..

 

I put Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 typical 275/40/18 on my new 18x10 rears, and i couldn't believe how tall the sidewall is compared to other companies' 275/40/18! Almost 4x4 status lol
You can see the pics here:

What's the best size for me to get to lower the sidewall height for great looking stance?

I thought about doing 285/35 but they don't make PS2's in 285s..I don't wanna downsize to 275/35 either.
Would going with 295/35 have shorter sidewall than my current setup? Is 295/30 an option?
Keep in mind that the car will be lowered more and my rim is 10" in width.


Damn I wish Ben was here to help me out.

 

Hey Kev the wider the tire the lower you are going to go on the sidewall. A 275-35-18 would be ideal. A 295-35-18 would have about the same wall thickness as your 275. Generally these would all be equal - 275/40, 285/35 and 295/30. It The side will get a little smaller but with that offset of a +15 and a 18x10 would rub and would need to be shaved a lot.

 

I work at a freight brokerage company.

 

Hey yea I just did tire calculator and 295/35 would give me pretty much same sidewall height like you said.
295/30 damn that's kinda pushing it on 10" wheels.

So is my best bet 275/35? Wouldn't that stretch the tire a bit more though?

Bryan you're my life saver. How bout I buy you lunch today so we can discuss this more lol

 

wassup ktown~! i've been so busy with work... i need some help... i changed my whole suspension setup and recently got an alignment with new tires and now i need to roll my fenders... anyone here know a place where i can get done for resonable $$. i'm sure some of you already got it done. i've pm'ed a member here but i did not get a respond back yet. TIA~!

 

dude i would go but i dont get off work til 1:30-2 ish

 

lol. Sounds good. But that really wouldn't be stretching the tire much. I had 275/35/18 on my 9.5's and had a lot of lip protection. On a 10 they might not have that much protection but looking at your wheels it looks like the spoke would be the first thing to hit. A 275/35 would be perfect though. But yea with my +22 in my rear even a 295 would rub. You could run some neg camber in the rear but that would be pointless for track and daily driving.

 

Cool yea man let's do lunch today. I'm actually off lol
We need to talk more about this in detail! Where do u wanna go?

 

Toyo Proxes T1R's: UTQG 280 (Treadwear) AA A

285/30ZR-18
285/35ZR-18
285/40ZR-18
295/35ZR-18

A 295/35 will give you a slightly shorter sidewall by about half an inc. Of course this is dependent on the tire manufacturer since each individual tire maker has their own set of measuring standards, also the construction of tire itself plays a key role.
For example; my Proxes R888 race tires are 255/40ZR-17 but in reality it measures up closer to a 265 because of it's aggressive casing and sidewall. Most street tires are not this way, they actually measure up closer to what it is stated.

Usually a 40 series will look tall so If I were you i'd go with a 285/30 or a 295/35.

 

I just had deja vu.

 

Oh cool. What do you feel like?

 

Hey thanks! I've noticed that Michelin PS2s have TALL *** sidewall compared to others, and that's what threw me off in confusion.
285 isn't an option because PS2s don't come in that size. Looks like 295/35 will give me only marginally shorter sidewall.

 

ahh i wish i can get off and have lunch too....
