Anyone have regrets going with 305s?

I just picked up a set of 305/30/19 for the rear, haven't mounted them yet but I am having regrets. I am currently on 285s, -1.6 camber, half finger gap and fenders are already rolled. I either have to raise the car or add more camber. I really like the ride height I am at now and I want to avoid the 4x4 look so I’m not a fan of raising. I'm ok with adding more camber but approximately how much will I need? I would like to keep it under -2.0 if thats possible. I want these tires to last.
These are going on 10.5 +24 rims.

 

Sell them, from the sounds of it your happy and thought 305s wasn't that big of a change! Then you mention tire wear! Post them for sale on craigslist.

 

You could look into having the wheel machined to a higher offset. There are mixed opinions on the practice, but you could squeeze a few mm out of it.

 

Is this aggressive enough?

F: 18x10" +29 with 295/30/18 Hoosier A6
R: 18x12" +22 with 315/30/18 Hoosier A6





Rear suspension clearance at resting height:
(There's about 3-4mm clearance on full compression.)


Obviously some fender gap in the rear, but that's because these tires are shorter than my daily drivers. I may lower it a tad. I'm going to add a 2.5 or 3mm spacer to the front b/c there's only about 1mm of clearance between the tire and suspension.

 

I thought you had an 11 on front? It's going to be pushy...

 

^Says the guy running no rear sway bar, haha. I chickened out after I saw how much yours extended past the fender. I may order a pair of 11s eventually, once the car is no longer doubling as my daily driver and I won't care as much about the ride height or fenders.

 

Front looks sick.. I understand the function I just do not like how the tire extends past the fender so much when its just sitting there. Reminds me of the mexican-mobile trucks with the wheels sticking really far out past the fender lol.

 

I put the stock bar back on. It was pushy as hell at the DC Pro...

 

Looks good jarrodh77! More & more I wish I would've bought the Seibon +10mm F&R CF fenders and went with wider wheels.

 

Anyone have regrets going with 335s?

 

That`s fat!

 

I love this thread, 350z will always look good with some meat on the rear. Ill post mine up soon.

 

jarrodh77, hows the life/wear on your a6's? i just got a set of r6's and only expect a few k out of them.

 

It's not really a matter of miles, but a matter of heat cycles. They will likely out heat cycle before they cord. The A6s will wear faster, but grip comes on much more quickly. Your Rs need a little heat before they stick of course.

 

The super stiff sidewall wakes the A/R 6 absolutely unlivable on the street IMO. I doubt you can find someone that could give you a street miles to cord on R6's. Given that we are getting into summer they will wear quickly. Particularly if you drive on concrete highways.

 

19x9.5 295/30/19

 

That 295 on a 9.5 kinda looks goofy, sidewall sticking way more out then your wheels :P

 

it is a fat tire thread.

 

+1 my dude. Also aggressive. O well maybe we can show em...

Hi guys,

I've gotten through this whole forum, and I keep getting mixed up opinions.

I am getting 19x9.5 and 19x11 with +22 and +25 offset respectively.

I just bought 265 35 19 and 305 30 19s. I am running stock suspension. Will I have any rubbing issues??? I thought I wouldn't after my research.. but i read a few more posts, and it had me concerned.

Any insight is appreciated.
