Thats what sucks with aerodynamic. Its 90% trial and error and alot of us dont have access to a wind tunnel to test and try our wing position, winglets angle, lip size and see the actual effect.

 

Just pmed. Definitely interested! You are a lot more knowledgeable then I

 

Finally got my new wheels and tires on.
TSW Bathurst
F:18x9 30off 255/40
R:18x10.5 27off 275/40

The size has grown on me since I initially saw them installed. I'd probably go 9 all around if I could do it over again, but I'm definately not disappointed.

 

^^ I like the setup. The offset is conservative, but it works.

A drop (as little as a half inch to an inch) would improve the look.

 

Thanks. I'm pleased with the set up. I've gone back and forth on lowering my car. Honestly, I was expecting more fender gap than what's there. I only mention going 9 square because the 275s are borderline too stretched (for my taste not safety). As much as I like my v.1 touring wheels, these guys look much better.

 

Tell me why my 18 look like 17s haha

 

Different brand tires will have different amounts of stretch, a Nitto Invo will not look as stretched.

 

Ok, they are wrapped in BFGoodrich g force now, I'll have to remember Nittos. Props to terra, travlee and spike for pointing me in the right direction several months ago when I was deciding on sizes.

 

you like them? when i had them, they were noticeably wider than the hankook v12's

 

How much wider is noticeably? Im still deciding on a set of tires. And im learning towards the hankook just because theyre not bad for the price. But then again, i was also thinking about the r888 but i hear theyre bad in rain.

 

i would say a 1/4 inch or so. for being the same sizes, you could tell the difference

 

I'm thinking of trying the Invo tires for my rear wheels this time. Also, I may get 295/35 instead of sticking with my usual 275/40 sized tires. The wheels are 18x10 +23.

Thoughts?

 

Ill have to look into them. Thanks as always trav

 

i think they are cheaper then the v12's also

 

Well my v12 are 700 for a set of 275/35r18

Everything else i priced out from nitto to falken to r888 are about 1000. But 300 isnt a big deal if theyre noticeably better.

 

 

Sold! Lok what psi did you run in these? The v12 sidewall was kindof soft so i have to run around 38-40 psi

 

34 i think, havent had that car for like 9 months so i cant remember. they did have a stiffer sidewall (my opinion)

 

I do, yeah. Granted I've only put a few miles on the car since Monday. But ride and noise levels aren't any worse before. Plus, when I ordered them BFGoodrich was offering a 70$ mail in rebate

 

Hello. Would i encounter an issue if i plan on running 18x10.5+15 up front on 275/35 tires?
