Anyone have pics with either setup? There isn't many 285/35/18 options out there, but I really don't like the look of the 275/40....... Trying to get the sidewall as close as possible weight wise while staying staggered. Don;t mind if the rear is a tad beffier but the 245/40 275/40 setup is too off to me.

Thanks

 

I got 275/40 rear, 255/40 front dropped on tanabe GF210's. I think it looks great

 

All those pics and not a single rear/exhaust pic?

 

 

 

Geez… I was thinking about a similar setup (wide tires on 18“ wheels). But, looking at the pictures posted on this thread I’m thinking they look a little “meaty.”

Also, the drop doesn’t look quite right to me since the tire’s perimeter doesn’t maintain a concentric relationship to the wheel well.

I’m not an expert on wheels, so maybe I’m all wrong.

Combo, that's cool, but I wont buy the Toyo's... Completely hate them, no where near as sticky as what im looking for. Im also looking for something wider. I hate over steer. BTW the Rotas in that color look great on the SS. I as well have a similar color wheel on my SS.

Zridder, thanks for the PICS, but no idea on tire specs??????

 

Sry about that, Im running a 285/35 and a 245/40. Hope it helps

 

Just get the proper size for the front to keep the stock oversteering stagger. 265/35-18

 

Thanks Zridder.... I love that setup, what kind of tires do you have?

Terrasmak - That will in no way help my over steer problem. More rubber out back is one step, fine tuning with sways is another thing I need to play with.

 

Was also thinking about a 255/40 and 295/35.... Think those would be too fat? Anyone with that setup?

Looks like the KDW2's about the only thing in this size though, which is a good tire so I don't mind.

 

Bump, sorry I don't care for running a 205/40/19 and 245/35/19 with a -10 offset... Is anyone running something that will actually has some mean on the road here??????? And practical for actually driving your car hard?

 

I beat the **** outta my car with my setup...

 

That would be a 255/35 and 285/35 combo with wheels in the 25 to 30mm offset range. If your looking to drive it, you will want to stay with a 20.. width in stagger , if not lower. The Z is a plow (understeer) and bringing the stagger down from the factory 20mm will help a lot.

 

What???? I am talking about tires... I have wheels, Work KIA Emotions 18x8.5 and 18.9.5 with a +20 all around Great wheel. Love them...

 

I have that combo sitting in the garage on my spare rota torques. I'm running BFG DR's in the back and BFG KDW 2's in the front. It looks a bit meaty but I have yet to see them on the car. I'll make sure to post up some pics when I get the car back.

What? Did you miss where I said I have aftermarket wheels with a +20 offset on all 4 corners? Your posts confuse me.... what are you talking about, i don't have under steer problems....

 

Try to read again, DO YOU KNOW HOW TIRES ARE MEASURED?? My last post to you had nothing to do with offset .

 

Yes your saying I should get a tire within 20MM width of each other ie. 265f and 285r... That's great, that will help a lot with under steer.... However I don't have under steer problems, I have problems with the rear being too lose (over steer) meaning I want more rubber on the pavement out back. The front is fine.
