Anyone have pictures of Falken RT615 on 18's?
 

Been searching but didn't come up with any actual pics. Interested in seeing 265/35/18 and 275/35/18 on (preferrably) an 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 setup. Front seems like it might be a bit too big, but the stagger would be perfect for what I want to achieve. Any pics would be very helpful.

If not, might just go for the 245/40 and 275/35

Here's mine with 235/40, 255/40 on 18" Nismo wheels. They fit perfectly. These tires run wide; I checked around on specs and the tread width of these is actually on par with 245/265 of other brands. I wanted to keep the stock stager; 245/275 is too biased toward understeer. These sizes are VDC freindly as well, as both front and rear underdrive by about 2% (according to tire size calculators, but as they run a bit large, I don't think they are really underdriving much at all).

Thanks for the pics - much appreciated! The rear looks too narrow for me, but its hard to tell from that angle. Hoping someone has pics of the 265/275 setup. In studying the measurements on the Falkens, seem a 235 is nearly identical to a 245 in a Toyo (makes sense, as the Toyo's run small), but they are almost 1/2 inch narrower per tire than my current S03's (245/40/18 is 10 inches wide), and the Falken 255/40 is just under a full inch narrower than my S03 in a 275/40/18O.

It's a weird thing - in some sizes the Falkens seem to run quite full, but in other sizes, they seem narrow (ie the 275/35/18). I still may end up going to the old standby of 235/40/18 and 265/35/18...its so hard to make this decision lol

Any chance you can repost the last pic again?

I have pics of the 245/40, 275/35 setup on 8.5", 9.5" wheels in this thread:

I am currently running 275's all around on 17 x 9" FN01R-C's. They fit perfect, so I don't see any reason why a 265 on a 8.5" wouldn't work.

thanks- those are very helpful. The 265/35 may or may end up working out perfectly on the 8.5, I'm not sure - seems like it would buldge a bit, as it's a full .7 inches wider than my current tires. I just don't want it to look "balloon-ey" if you know what I mean.

The more I study the dimensions, the more I think the ideal for me is going to be 255/40/18 (section width of 10.3 inches wide, vs my current tire width of 10 inches), and 275/35/18 (10.8 inches wide, vs my current tire of 11.2 inches).

Thanks so much for the pics so much guys - if anyone's got more, I'd love to see em.

I'd stick with either the 245/40 or 265/35 on the front. 255 is a nice width, but with the 40 series profile it will be .4" bigger diameter than the rear. The reverse stagger in the diameter would look worse than a slight bulge on the front tire IMO. Too bad they don't make a 255/35, but I'd go with 265/35. I can take a pic of a 275 on a 9" wheel if you want.

Here are a couple more of mine. I prefer the slightly stretched JDM look as opposed to a fatty look and these tires have more grip than I'll ever need, so any wider would just be added weight. I also had to make sure sizes from front to rear would jive with my VDC.

thanks for those, appreciate it.

I'm not after the stretched look at all, but rather max contact patch

1nate7 - if you could show me the link of the 275 on a 9 that would be great

thanks!

NP. Any way you go, you'll love the tires!

From everything I've read, they seem to be the way to go for me. It was a toss up between these and A048's, but their sizing is even more limited, thought they offer fantastic grip.

I have the 265/35/18F and 275/35/18R setup on my Z. It is awesome for road racing/track events but not for drag. It is very underdriven, but looks really cool :D.

Once I wear out my rear i'm going for 295/40/18.

pics?

This is the best I have to show the 275's on a 9" wheel, keep in mind these are 17's:

looks good, but those are def 9.5's all around I believe

if anyone has a pic of the 265/35/18 on an 8.5 - post it up

thanks again guys for the assistance!!!!!
