Actually a lot of top autox people do run oversized tires on smaller wheels. #1 reason is if they wish to keep the car in STOCK class, they must keep the wheel size the same as stock but they can put as big of a tire as they can. Seems to me you don't know as much as you think you do.

+1...I've autoX'd a SCCA B-Stock 350Z on 285 Kumho V710s - it was a very competitive car at Nationals. (with the owner driving :rolleyes: ) |

You brought a thread back from the dead to make yourself look a tool? Read what I posted 5 WEEKS ago...and like 4 posts up from yours. :icon22:

Does that make sense to you or did your turbo blow out your vision? ;)

Actually no, I brought it back because I was trying to search for something helpful and found this.
Seems to me your the only one here a tool noob. |

Is it safe to use 275/40 on 8.5" 18's?
Does somebody use this setup not only for AutoX but for Dayly driving also? |
Several use it on a 8 or 8.5 rim setup without problems.
|
Thanks!
Don't you know what ET will be suitable with 275? Does ET40 fit? |
