Thanks. I have used Kumho tires for many years and always had good luck with them. I think a 305 will look hella stretched on a 11.5, too bad they dont offer a 325.

If they do I'll get me some. Nitto has 325s in NT01s if you're interested. Also these aren't that narrow either. Comparable to my Nt01 which almost dwarfs the 19x11" rim like the Trofeo Rs.

If you get a chance can you post a pic of the 305 NT01 on 11" wheel at a similar angle to the one you posted before. No rush, its hard to find a good pic online.

Here you go. On 19x11" Apex PS-7s not exactly dwarf but not a tight fit.

Nice. Thanks. NT01 may be an option. Looks similar to a Trofeo on a 11.5

Edit: For anyone interested...here is a good article comparing RE11s and RE11As. The latter were introduced in 2013. http://www.prima-racing.com/the-new-...k-s2000-irene/

The Bridgestone 325 is the same width as a " fat " 305. Wont be a problem in the front.. A great tire..

Bridgestones are too heavy. Also anyone interested in x2 305-30-19 Nitto NT01 with like 200 miles on them for $625. I like the Kuhmo V720 handling capability better.

For track use it would matter. These are for street use.

Good advice regarding doing the research. I knew they would fit because they run narrow and others have mounted 325 RE11s on the front.

325 RE11s are wider and taller, marginally, over stock 305 Trofeos. They mount without issue. Too heavy for the track is a silly statement. Heavier tire, yes. They are an excellent choice for street and performance driving. They are widely used for both also.

I speak solely on RE11s for front, I didn't mention other tires. Just about any other 325 on the front is problematic. RE11 weight is not an issue in any sense.
