I want to see someone run a 325 frt, and a 345 rear set-up. :yum:

That would be a seriously tall order without having some sort of widebody flares!

If you could fit a 10.5' rim it could be possible. I can tell you fitting a 10' rim was tough

ChaseZ 06-16-2017 04:01 PM

Maybe a 10.5 +30 something thereabouts. Still, it'd be tough to stuff it that's for sure. Would need a little stretch just to get them in the wheelwell cleanly even with moderate -camber.

Hey guys I'm running a wide body (flares) 50mm wider than stock. Fenders are cut and I am on Airlift bags. I'm switching up my setup to go more aggressive/meaty. My wheels are 18X10 -13 and 18X13 -26 . My plan is to wrap them in 305/35/18 and 335/30/18 Toyo Proxes R888. My question is do you think the 305/35/18 is too large for the fronts? I'm aiming for a specific look and it's not stretched and cambered. My build is S30 track Inspired, so I want thick and meaty. Any info/suggestions is appreciated. PFA

Hotrodz 06-17-2017 11:38 AM

I think you will be fine...I'm planning on running 305/35/18 or 315/30/18 square on my next set of tires. Go big or go home!!!:nutswinger:

That 335/30-18 R888 is a full inch smaller in diameter than spec

It's hard finding wider tires in 18's nowadays. I'd prefer to stick with 18's but will probably end up with a set of 19 so I can actually get the tires I want.

THIS. I hate that, even slightly larger 18, 295/35 hell 305/35 don't exist unless it's a drag tire. I dread the day I buy a vette and want to autocross it, there's maybe 2 tires made for them

315/30-18 is only 25.4" diameter though. You'd want 315/35-18 which is 26.7, right where the Z wants em. Only one I know of in that size is Toyo Proxes TQ though so you'd have to be cool with drag radials. Unless you know of others...

ChaseZ 06-24-2017 10:23 AM

I'm tempted to give those TQ's a go. They apparently wear quite well for a drag radial. Usually that means they don't have the bite of others, but that's probably ok too.

cjwsrt6 06-24-2017 12:58 PM

I'm in process of buying new radials and through all the research the toyo's don't compare to say the nt05r or the Mickey Thompsons, just 2 cents

Roger that! The difference for me...I'm not doing straight lines so the decision is to run a narrower and taller tire or go with a shorter and wider tire for tracking. Choices are very limited so my next decision will be a toss of the the coin, 305's to get the height or 315's for a wider contact patch.

Hence the problem. I need something equivalent to an RE11 or PSS for daily and can't get anything remotely close in 18's anymore.

No 315/35 in popular make and models of tires is a gigantic pain in the *** BTW

Nor 325/35-18, which should be a more common size and exactly what I want.

ChaseZ 06-24-2017 10:06 PM

Think I'll just say F it and go completely the other way with 20x10 and 20x12 and drop the car again.

Got the Advan F7's, they definitely aren't meaty. Will have to take care of that promptly. In the meantime going to refinish them. Originally they were just bare with clearcoar, might either go back to that or powdercoat a nice gun metal.

Feel like I read through every page, trying to nail this down. :stirthepot:

Heres what I am thinking -

Front - 19x9.5 +22 w/ 285/35/19
Rear - 19x10.5 +12 w/ 325/30/19 (Can i squeeze 345)?
(No VDC issues here right?)

Lowered on Swifts...

Will I rub with stock camber components?

I dont think so because the diameters are relatively close to what i have right now and i dont rub one bit while running-

Front 18x9.5 +12 w/ 245/45/18
Rear 18x11 +20 (-25mm Spacer, -5 effective) w/ 275/40/18

Which tire mfg are you looking at?
As the fitment of a 285/35 will fit a 9.5" wheel no problem,
The 345's usually call for a 12" wheel....My Nitto Invo's are probably the narrowest 345's mounted on a 19x12, measuring 13.3" at widest point/ while Michelins are 13.8".
The Invo's will be your best shot at a 345,as by the way it fits-appears it would fit an 11" wheel...they may be pinched on a 10.5", but I've seen 345/30/18 drag radials on a 10.5 wheel.

Rusty 08-11-2017 04:56 AM

I running 285/35-19 P4S on 19x9.5, +25 front. Stock height. There is a small lump inside the fender, towards the bumper. Think it is for bolt clearance. That's the only place that I rub at. I do trackdays. So that maybe why I rub in that spot. The extra cornering forces.
In the rear. I'm running 345/30-19 PPS on 19x12, +28. No rubbing, but I don't think I have enough clearance to run a true coil-over in the rear. It's tight at the top of tire and shock. If true coil-overs are in your plans. Go with the 325's.
