Just wondering if anyone anyone has 295's in the back. Any pictures? I was specifically thinking about them on 18" so that the fenders do not need rolling.

To me it seems like people that are upgrading to FI applications are having traction problems. Am I correct in thinking that a wider tire will help with this? If so, what kind of different has anyone noticed in their track times by switching to a wider tire (preferrably an FI car owner).

 

I'm running 295 in the rear with 10.5" offset 22 wheels and I have to roll the fender.
I'm not sure about 18" but there are only 2 choices for the 19". Pirelli P Zero Rosso or Continental Conti 2.



I'll try to post more pix tomorrow.

 

Sweet thanks, I'd love to see some more pictures!

 

Karma, looks awesome ! Are those the Pirelli's or the Continentals.

Thanks,
Bob

 

I have SSR H-Comp, 18x9 +30 offset in the front and 18x10.5, +43 offset. I have no fender rolling and the front is clear lock to lock. Will try to post a picture later.

 

295 rear tires.
OZ Superleggeras 19x11 no fender rolling 40 mm offset
Michelin Pilot Super sport - don't like it though....it skips too much instead of sliding.

 

BTW,

Karma mag - Have you seen the new SE P900. Nice design but almost the same features as the P800. I had to buy it though just to be "updated".

 

What do you guys run up front if it's not the 245's (for 19 inch wheels)? Did this cause any issues with the VDC? Lastly what differences have you guys noticed going with 295 in the rear? BTW KarmaMag, seen your car in person and it's stunning.

 

265's and 295 are a good balance just slightly small in diamete but correct stager

 

that is some sweet rubber

 

Any more pictures?

 

Picture will be up tonight when I get home.
I'm running 255/35 in front and 295/30 rear.

Redlinez, I'm running a Conti. Pirelli cost too much for me

apharmdb, thanks for your kind comments on my car.

Arvin, I love to get the P900 but I'm trying to get Stoptech so need to save up money. You should come out to the meet some more. Haven't seen you since that D&B last time. We're having another meet on Apr 17. Hope to see you there.

 

KarmaMag,
If you have that pic of your car that looks like it's on a track please post , that is by far the baddest I've seen. Need to see a bigger one!
Well, the Pirelli's are a little more, not much. I've ordered a 275/305 combo to run on 9.5 and 11's and I've been worried about the rears. The 295 Conti's are actually wider than the 305 P-zeros and after seeing yours I hope mine will look that good. I wanted a tire a little taller in the rear .
After rolling your fenders how much clearance do you have , it looks tight!

 

KarmaMag,
I've been checking all day, are you teasing me?

 

Karma... that car looks AWESOME!!

WE WANT MORE PICS!!! LOL

 

YA!

 

Karma... that car looks AWESOME!!

WE WANT MORE PICS!!! LOL

 

Sorry for lagging
I was busy at work and haven't had chance to take more pics. I will take more pics tomorrow and post them up here for you guys, promise.

Redlinez, the pics of my car on the track is a property of gotbluemilk.com since they are the one who took the pics. I have to buy the high-res pics from them one of these days.

 

Toyo's T1-S comes in 295/35/18 if you are looking for 18's. I have 10.5's with 30 offset.

 

Great , if you're taking new pics, I'd love to see the same angle in the track shot. Maybe a close up of the rear fender clearance. Damn , I sound like all the goobers on here wanting every detail. I swear I won't ask how much your wheels weigh.
