Does your tire bulge out off the rim alot "like a fupa in spandex". Also is it the toyo r888s that you are using because I have read they are larger than the size given?

295's bulge out quite a bit on a 10.5, the sidewalls on a r888 are pretty stoudt. you're gonna get some supa fupa action with the 305

The tire is a race tire so it does not have a rim protection lip. The lack of this rim protection lip makes the tire look like it's oversized for the rim. It's overall width is also wide for it's size.

Don't buy these tires unless you have a good reason to buy them. If you drive on the track get em. They're good.

Does anyone got pics of this setup: Toyo R888 275/305 on 9.5/10.5? I'm close to picking up some new tires and wanted to see what this would look like. Also would I be rubbing with this setup?

Current setup is:

265/35/18 on 9.5 +22 -1.5 Camber
285/35/18 on 10.5 +22 -1.2 Camber: Will be changing to -1.5 to -2.0.

The car is dropped with .5in spacing between tire and wheel well on all four corners. Right now I don't rub during hard cornering or bumps with stock non-rolled fenders.

IIQuickSilverII is running them on a 10.5" wheel. I think he has a couple pics he posted in another thread, but I don't recall which. Give him a PM.

Anyone have a 35 profile pic on a 10.5?

This looks awesome. I like the fact that there's a slight stretch look on this setup.
