Thank you. So it looks like I would have to get a 285 tire? Can't go any bigger?

I feel like such a noob

I was looking at these tires, heard their pretty good. Problem is, I just woke up not too long ago and I can't seem to wrap my mind around on how to read the sizes here...So which one would I be looking at?

MT will soon be selling their radials in a 20'' size (305s). That will be great for the guys still running 20'' wheels. It will give us another option other than just Nittos.

I ran an M & H Racemaster 275. Just about the same overall size as stock and they worked real well:

With these wheels there is NO spacer needed. They simply bolt right up. Just keep an eye on your e=brake cable.

Thank you.

I can set you up with some 18" TSW Nurburgring and Nitto 305/45/18 tires. I already sold a few sets and will have pics soon.

What they said, I love my forgestars and the MT's are nice, 305/45/18's

PM me with info, I would really like to run some MT's on the car. Still looking around though.

how much hp do you have? I run my stock 20" wheels with nitto's 305's 555r's....are you planing on tuning mid to low 10's? I have had no issues with them and I run high 10's...

Supercharged SS · 04-24-2011, 06:54 PM

I'm gonna try for some 9's on a 17" drag radial in the next few weeks.
