^^ ehh... The vendor I choose had what I wanted in stock and sent them FedEx, I'm happy.

BTW, anyone have these on stock 18's using the 265/35 & 295/35 configuration here that can post pics...

 

295 on stock 18's is pushing it don't you think? If I remember correctly stock 18's are 8.5" in the rear?

 

You are correct. Let me start another thread on this so I don't take this one up.

 

He wants to know since he bought tires with these sizes for his stock 18" rims . . .

 

I have these same tires in 20 inch on my axis shine rims and they do handle great. I had the car upto 120 going around turns on 95 just south of philly. The wet handling is great. I can slide the car out sideways from a stop with the wheels turned but soon as I hit second its straight. I like these tires alot and I have even met the marketing manager in Northern Jersey. He sent me a review and a shirt for the tires and the company. The only bad marks that review gave was on braking. Other than that they were given great reviews.

 

Reason why this Vredestein ULTRAC SESSANTA new tire is the best, is the price especially. Much cheaper than any other tire I have seen in it's size.

Will my 18x9 with a 32mm offset work well with the 275 front or would a 5mm spacer be needed to get it closer to the 25mm offset you have?

 

Dunno if USN will respond. I sent him a PM 1 week ago and he hasn't responded concerning the tires.

 

he has been on vacation, he is traveling today. he'll get back to you when he gets time.

 

Thanks for the heads up.
