On a 9" rim, of course... =)

What gives better grip up front: 265's on a 9" rim, stock turbo offset, or 245's on an 8.5" rim, with GT2 offset?

Thanks for your answers!

 

yes that is what I run

 

Whoa! Tom what have you done to be able to run a 265 up front?

 

Tom, what sizes are you running F & R?

 

O btw, i thought you had a Turbo because you have the OEM Turbo aero wing.

 

I also run a 265 on the front on a 9" rim. I get a little bit of rubbing at some
parking lot steering angles, but the bigger tire does help turn-in.

 

Joe what sizes are you running F & R

 

Yokohama Advan NEOVA AD07

265/35 ZR18 diameter: 25.3" 9" rim
295/30 ZR18 diameter: 25.1" 11" rim

 

Any suspension or fender liner trickery needed to get that 265 fitment in their w/o any problems? Stock turbo 50mm front offset used? Thanks again for the info! Nice pic from under. =)

 

Thanks Joe, is Tom on wider rears

 

ITACUD I am selling a pair of 245/35zr19 if you need... they are used but in very good condition

 

I have Neovas mounted right now, 235/40/18's in front, and 295/30/18's in back. On stock Turbo wheels, even the 235 Neovas just _barely_ rub the forward part of the fender liner in very tight parking lot turns, when at full tread depth. Impressive that the 265 Neovas are not much worse....

ET50 offset?

 

Thanks for the offer. I think I'd rather stay with 18s, however, and use stiffer springs instead.

 

I didnt know you had 18"

 

Actually, I have the OEM C4S aerokit! Looks identical, but the openings in the rear lid are lined up for the non-Turbo engine, and it's not Carbon Fiber.
