^^ cause the 285 on 10.5 are more stretched than a 285 on a 9.5.

might be the design.. i had 295 toyo proxess and the INVOs are wider with 285!

anyways.. i rolled my fenders well this time using a BFH. added the 5mm spacers went for a test drive.. and i guess it didnt rub

so my maximum is 285 35 with 17 offset

This is what I like, I just think that stretched tires on fat rims looks cheap in more ways than one. It looks like you can't afford the correct sized tire for your rim size and it looks cheap and nasty. JDMLove1's Z looks the business, a sight for sore eyes, properly set-up. I'd rather go around a corner quickly in the above car rather than some thing with tires that will probably roll off of the rim.

slight rub on hard dips...

345/25/19 would fit like a champ.....too bad no one makes that size.

Moving to the GTR 20, getting those widened, then going with 345/25/20 which will be right on the money.
This setup dominates this thread

Or it could be your tire design as well, for example my 265/40/18 michelin ps2 ran similar to a 285
PS2.are huge!

Yet another reason mine runbed.

The Nitto Invo is at least a half inch less tall and wide in the same size as the Mich PS2

Even in 225 vs 245

1/4 inch taller and definatly wider. The PS2 specs are measured on a 9.5 the Invo is measured on a 10. Being mounted on the different wheels the PS2 is 1/10 inch wider.

changed it up a bit. 295/30 square. panels mismatch a bit. fenders are off an 07 and my car is an 03. I ruined the original fenders when my hood flipped up. Then I cut them up to try something with aero. The hood was a gutted skin. I just eyeball picked a shade of spray paint and went at it. Pretty close result actually. Oh well because racecar.

I actually would consider a Nismo V3 rear. Looks functional. I am also thinking of getting some functional side skirts made.

But money can't go into that type of thing. I desperately need some good high end coil overs and a cage and harness and hans I would say.

rear as is... trying to get rid of the parachute.

2th pwr - Love the splitter underneath the V2 bumper! Because racecar... the mismatch ruggedness adds character which is a good thing IMO. What coils are you on currently?

I use 315's up front. The car runs on ethanol. It gets probably 2-3mpg or so...


...and no, I didn't hit the cone.
