I was thinking of picking up a set of the MB Motorsports Competition wheels in 17x9 with 27 offset for autocross use.



I was thinking of putting the Nitto NT555R II Extreme in 275-40-17 in the front and the back. Does anyone see the fronts rubbing? What about at full lock?

I really want to g et the Nittos, but I am concerned that 275's in the front will cause too many headaches. Has anyone used this setup before? Does anyone have these wheels? What do you think of them? Any information would be helpful!!!

 

a few people from this site did that. Speak up.

 

Todd or Kevin-
Have you guys heard of any rubbing on the fronts with the 275's? That is all that I am worried about. I don't know if the 350Z is much different than the G fenderwise, but I would assume they would have basically the same clearance up there....

 

What do these wheels run ? ?

 

They are only $187 each through discounttiredirect.

I am thinking of running them for next season, should be fun to try the Nittos.

 

I use those wheels w/Kumho 275s and there is no clearance problem anywhere, with either stock springs or lowered 30mm.

 

Good to hear, that is what I was looking for!!! Thanks a lot!

BTW, How do oyu like the Nittos? Did you use Kumhos beforehand and have a comparison with them???

 

I'm running the Nittos, but I'm running 275/40-18r 245/40-18f.
I like them alot

 

I mean the Nitto 555R's (I think that is what they are called), they are performance tires for autocross and road racing. They are not really tires for the street since they are very sticky and will wear out VERY QUICKLY!!!
