9 +22 won't fit with a 275/30 Advan Sport front tire. It's not even close and my car is lowered only 1" in the front.

They sell a 9" +29 front which will fit if it clears the Brmbo calipers. There is a good amount of clearance on the inside with the +22 to allow a +29 to fit. I hope it moves the tire in enough to prevent rubbing on the fender. Mo Money !!!!!!

perhaps a nice, clean wide fender jet? Something along the lines of maybe an INGS - shame to put such nice wheels to waste

 

I am sure you have already thought of this but: WHY DON"T YOU SELL THE TIRES AND MOUNT SOME THAT WILL fIT?

put some 255's or stretch whatever and call it a day.

 

i lowered my car on tein stechs and had a 19x9.5 +22 up front with 255/35R19 and there was never a rubbing issue. I think you should just swap the front tires.

 

A 255/35 is bigger than a 295/30. That won't work with VDC.

A 245/35 would be an appropriate size, but it's 50mm narrower than a 295/30. Too much understeer.

Just go with smaller tires to solve the problem. Too much rubber without power to back it up is just purely parasitic drag. The best performance is finding the point where the maximum amount of grip is accomplished with the least amount of rubber.

 

With 450rwhp..... I can spin a 295 through 1st, 2nd, and most of third gear at any given speed. If anything I should have gone with a 305 rear.

adjust your sway bar and strut bracing and you will reduce understeer.

and I think the reason you can't keep traction with 450 is because a) heavy foot b) too much neg. camber.

 

if your boasting 450whp.. then why would you care about vdc? The setup i had was 255/35 and 295/30.. never had any issues with it.

 

How much negative camber am I running?

Ever driven a car with 540 ft-lbs of torque?

What does VDC have to do with 450rwhp. It has everything to do with rolling diameter. That's cool. I'm glad you didn' have any issues with those mismatched tire sizes. I'm going to run a smaller front diameter like your supposed to with VDC.

JET

 

I would try things in this order--

1) more negative camber up front (depending on where it is now)
2) trim plastic in fender well if its hitting there
3) roll or trim front fender
4) go with a narrower tire (255)
5) try above steps again if it still rubs
6) if everything to this point has failed, get new wheels.

Going with wider aftermarket fenders is argualbly more of a pita than just buying new wheels.

 

Thanks Taurran.... I'm skipping to step 6..... getting the +29 offest they offer.

JET

 

no, I'm sorry but good driving and proper setup should mitigate any power problems... right? and good tires should help as well... you'd be surprised how much negative camber has to do with your supposed lack of traction cause your car is "the roxzors" just messing.

 

Actually I couldn't tell a huge difference with camber correction on my street tires. The biggest difference is my tires are wearing much slower now. I'm running 285/35/19s in the rear with -.8 deg camber.

And, for the record, I've never personally heard of anyone having issues with VDC due to tire sizing. Oh well.

Good luck with the other offset wheels. I personally would have just made them work. You're only going to get 7mm (a little over 1/4in) of extra clearance which could reasonably be done with a little fender work and camber.

 

Are you for real? I hope not!

subscribing for pics on!

 

What I am saying is the front does not need to be that big even if you drag race or even road race for that matter. All it is doing is creating unnecessary drag that is slowing you down. In regards to the rear it is a possibility, but then get some drag radials, slicks, or R-compounds that apply to the racing situation if you are having traction problems.

That is cool that you are going with a higher offset to get it to work with a 275 up front, which will be great to be able to say that you somehow stuffed a 275 up front for the sake of saying it.

 

I want my chasis to be balanced. Hence the 275/295.

Slicks for the street? NOT
R compound for the street? NOT
R compound in 19" in applicable sizes? NOT
Drag radials for a sports car? NOT

Any other ideas?

JET

 

Yes, don't race or whatever it is you do on 19's if you are having traction problems. 19's weren't meant to be raced on which is why companies do not make race tires in those sizes with a wide selection to choose from. The car will be more balanced with a good corner balance and a good suspension setup than with running a 275 up front.




LOL as u can see I am pulling your chain JET. You can do whatever you want, but i'm just trying to help you out from a performance standpoint.
