Smile TSW Nurburgring Tire Size

So I was thinking about getting the same size wheels on all 4 corners to reduce the under steer of my SS a bit. Would u guys recommend it or should I get wider wheels in the back? I think the widest the Nurburgrings come in is 10.5"...so maybe 9.5" in the front and 10.5" in the back? What's the width of the SS rims?

The 10.5" nurburgring doesn't have the right offset. The widest with the correct +35 offset is 10.0". You can use the 20x10.0 all around with no problems.

Would u recommend it on a daily driver? Would it affect the driveability? I drive it pretty hard on the streets though.

Depending on the tire sizes you put they will most likely rub. I would recommend you use the 20x10 rear, you will have no problems.

I just put 20x10's on all corners with 275/40's in the front and 315/35's in the rear. I'm dropped 1.4", no rubbing at all and they tuck nicely!

I was thinking about doing 315 in the back but doesn't the tire stick out of the rims a.bit? I heard that's bad for the.handling

They are a little wider than the rims but I dont have any excessive bulging. Havent had a chance to play yet but I dont expect any problems. Many members are running invo's the same size but from I understand the nt05's have to square of a profile and will not tuck as nicely. The vredestiens are supposed to have a stiff sidewall so Im hoping to actually increase performance in that arena as well. I will try to get pics up for you of the sidewall and fender clearances if youd like.

These are my TSW's that I got from Tony at Speed Depot way back in 2010.
I eventually put on 275/315 Nitto NT05s front/rear. I'm running -2 degree camber up front and -1.8 in the rear, so the tops of the tires tuck way into the fenders. These NT05s fit the 9" fronts and 10" rears really well and gives the car a really aggressive looking stance.
