My tires are fine in the rear, its just that it doesnt seem like i get traction much when get on it. mainly from 1st-2nd-3rd gear. Right now i have Good Year Exclaim tires. im running 275/30/19 size tires. I know i should get 285/35/19 next time. but is there a better size that would help me get better traction in the rear? Or another brand tire? any help would be appreciated. thx.

 

285s require fender rolling

 

ah yea, then i should prob stay with 275 and just get 35/19

 

U sure about that?? OP what are the offset off your wheels ? That is what we need to know to help you!!!

+18 in the rear, i'm lowered on tein springs also.

 

ya u would need to roll your fenders. i'd roll and go with 295s, toyo r888's

 

Roll then , and go 285's, you will have a little more rubber on the ground. It will also change your gearing a little, that will help with putting the power down.

 

toyo r888's or michelin ps2's

 

Definitely need to roll fenders with 10.5 width +18 offset, to fit 285/35/19's. Might even be able to fit 295s but I can only speak for the 285's from personal experience.

 

No they don't. Neither do 295s or 305s. It's offset dependent. Learn it, breath it, love it.



OP: Try a better tire and gentler gear shifting. A 275 is too small for a 10.5" anyway (in my opinion it starts to look stretched). At +18 you'll be hard-pressed to fit anything much bigger than a 285 w/o a roll, but rolling is easy. The extra sidewall of the 35-series will help settle the car also.

 

Tein S-techs? That's not even that much of a drop anyways.

 

well, when u have a low lip kit on its hard to go lower when you drive the car all the time. so s-techs work for me. but yea, that sounds good, 285/35/19 toyos should do the trick! thx for much help guys.

 

Not true. I'm running 285/35/19 with no problems. Toyo T1R's.

Now, the 305's (or maybe even 315's) I want to run soon will definitely need rolling.

 

with the average volk wheel 285 requires rolling

 

michellin ps2 295/30/19's with rolled fenders

 

I bought two sets of take-off 305s for our Z. I decided to run the PS2s, so have the RE050As for sale if you're interested.

 

what is the sizes of the tires?

 

I have Work Equips 01 its 10.5 in the rear. get firehawk wide ovals 295/35/18
No Need to roll your fenders!!! good tires IMO

 

305/30/19. They're posted here:

although I don't have confidence they'll work with your offset without a fender roll. Ours is +28, and even that is close (but has never rubbed).
