..i had 275 before..really didnt like the stretch tire look... so i got these 305...but AH! freaking tire sticks out way too much.. im really hoping i can return them sinces i havent driven my car... fck...very disappointed! What do you guys think?

 

muahaha ! what were you thinking man !

 

What size wheels and offset are you running?

 

I dont know!

20 Maya STMs, offset i have no idea! not the right now i guess!

I know.. makes me mad.

Im going back to my 275 and praying i get my 800 dollars back!

 

just exchange them for 285's if you can.

 

Its a new trend, and you are way ahead of the crowd. Trailblazer is what you are!

 

Get a drop, problem solved.

 

I dont think those tires fit inside the fender...

 

right...

 

Once you mount them you own them!

Not everyone knows how to do 305's right!

 

So you were already aware that with the offset on your wheels that they were already sticking out past the fender, and you knew that the stretched tire was the only way of making it look even remotely right. Unless you can buy a negative spacer (joke), that will never look right.

How wide is your rear wheel? FK452's suck IMO, I have them on my fronts right now on their sidewall is retarded. IMO, of course. I run a 275 on my 11" rears and I'm sick of it as well, however the offsets on mine appear to be better suited as mine don't stick out like that.

If I decide to go HKS S/C after I have my car paid off I will go with a 305. There will be good 20" tires coming out in the following months due to the arrival of the GTR and other luxury/exotics.

Do you have any power mods to warrant a 305? I would have to imagine that would slow you down even more.

 

YIKES!!! Those wheels are clearly the wrong offset. Furthermore, running a 305 on the rear requires the fenders to be rolled and maybe even pulled depending on the offset of the wheel being used.

Here is my setup for comparison:
19x11 iForged with 305/30-19 Bridgestone RE050A before the car was dropped on Tanabe ProSEVEN coilovers.

 

oh well...fck it....anybody wants buy these tires? taking any offers....

 

is your car dropped at all? If you slam and roll fenders it might be ok.. you need serious negative camber

 

unfortunately i cant afford 700-800 dollars every few months on new tires...but then again i hardly use it... i dont know man .. Im just gotta get rid of the tires now..I got over excited and didnt realized what the hell i was doing. The car has been sitting on stands for 3 weeks now...I got the lip repolish to a mirror finish, fixing all the scratches...and got the center piece powder coated...which took 3 weeks! Today was my day off from work... picked up the polish lip 10:30am, picked up the center piece at 1:00PM... get home 1:40pm, assemble the rims together and finished by 4:15PM, took them to discount tires to mount my tires... and thats where i fcked up..got the 305s...got home at 5:30PM... install them in my car...then i run into this BS!
lesson learned

 

I could be wrong but judging from these pics, this looks more like an offset issue and not tire width.

 

^+1

 

Maybe this will help to bring an end to this stupid low offset craze and stretched tires.

Probably not.

"It fits"... Just need lots of camber.

 

Yes, offset is incorrect, not a tire width issue.
