LOL - that pic was from Aug '06 . On Saturday, I rolled the Z out to wash it, but it started to snow, so I rolled it back into the garage (Weather forcast was for rain/snow most of Sunday too)...Sunday morning when I woke up, I had 2-3" of snow on the grass, and 1" on the roads - so I changed to my OE wheels which actually have some tread on the tires.

nice! I still love those works...too bad I sold them

IMO the RPF1's don't look as nice, but they weigh less and cost less...so for autoX/track days, they're one of the best deals out there.

Damn I was going to run 265/35 & 275/35, with a 9.5 and 10.5" wheel +15 all around but I may go with something larger if I can find the right size. 275/35 and 305/30 perhaps Will for sure have to roll fenders with a +15 offset but it's worth a try.

Pretty nice Z man! I was searching on how wide of tires I could fit on my wheels currently and came across this thread. Thought maybe you guys could help me out with a quick question. I am currently running a 9.5" rear wheel and I am looking to getting into some new rear tires due to a recent blowout on my 275's. Was wondering if you guys new for sure if I would be having any bulge issues or needing fender rolling on a set of 295/35/19 KDW's. I am on stock ride height for now, looking to upgrade the suspension in the near future so I figured I'd ask on the rubbing issue now before I got into it. Hope you guys can help!

it should fit w/out much fuss..the tire will buldge a bit, but I like how that looks.

need more info about the car/wheels to know if it'll rub or not. (offset, camber,...)

He put 305s on the rear 18x10 +38. Not sure what he used for the spacer. 305s can fit on 10-11" wheels with the right offset. My wheels are 10.5" with the 305 and are +43. I run a 15mm spacer to push them out a bit and net a +28 wheel, but they didn't hit the shock tower b4 the spacer. The 295 on the front is amazing though.

back from the dead again!

did you have any luck with the 305 on the 10.5 +15?

if so, what are the specs? ride height, camber, anything else that matters that i cant think of at the moment?

I don't know, man, my 19x10.5 +28 with PS2 305 has the smallest touch of clearance with no fenders rolled. The 305 RE050As are a hair wider, and I'm not confident they'd fit without rubbing/roll.

well i don't mind the rolling the fenders, in fact i'm sure the fenders will need to be rolled. I just don't wanna "pull" the fenders. 305 is actually more than i'm looking for, i want to be able to fit 295 on there without pulling the fenders. so far the only example i found with a 295 or bigger on the 10.5 +15 spec had rolled and pulled fenders. I don't remember who exactly that was though. but he pulled his fenders before test fitting, so there is still a possibility of 295's fitting with just rolled fenders. I know tires vary and all between brands and 295 doesn't equal 295. so i don't need anyone to explain that to me.

*FWIW, I rolled my fenders a few weeks back, and found out that I could fit a 315 in the rear, and a 295 up front - FTW! Tire Rack was nice enough to let me return my 285's...just got these mounted this week!

What did you do for spacers to fit the 295FR and 315RR? You said you rolled the fenders, was that just the rears or did you roll the fronts to fit the 295, too?
