Scutch0 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I’ve currently got 265 35 18 rear tires fitted on a 9.5 rim et 35. I’m wanting to replace them, but I’m wanting to have an over sized look for the rear. Will 265 45 18 fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaky Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Yup, but will put your speedometer out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 That’s fine, any need for arch rolling, I’m all stock suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaky Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Try one on when you go to get your tyre on, stock should look like a tractor though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Sorry for the thread resurrection, anyone running the same setup but 265/40/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Sorry for the thread resurrection, anyone running the same setup but 265/40/18 I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4 PS4 245/40/18 on the front and Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265/40/18 on the rear if that helps?

Scutch0 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Ah great, any arch work needed? Stock arches stock suspension? What offset are your rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Ah great, any arch work needed? Stock arches stock suspension? What offset are your rims? Nope, none of the arches have been touched. Front is 18x8 (ET 36) and the rear is 18x9 (ET 38). It looks like the OEM shocks have been fitted with unknown Red lowering springs. The car is too low and does scrub slightly on the rear now when under WOT. I’m getting CWs suspension next year so hope to raise the car which will cure this. She feels so much better and predictable for having the 40 on the rear, more comfortable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scutch0 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Well, I got 265/40/18 tires fitted yesterday, and they rub going over even the slightest bump Arch rolling it is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Well, I got 265/40/18 tires fitted yesterday, and they rub going over even the slightest bump Arch rolling it is then Your 0.5” wider than me with a 4mm difference it offset, that’s a total of 16.7mm if my maths are correct. What make tyre did you fit? What suspension have you got fitted? Have you had an alignment done? Edited December 8, 2018 by Frank Bullitt Spelling.

Scutch0 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Just went for nexen Ditch finders incase I needed to change. Stock suspension! - - - Updated - - - Alignment does need doing, but it definitely won’t solve how close they are to the arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am right in working this out your wheels are 16mm closer to the lip when compared to mine. How does the tyre wall look? Is it bulging at all or flat?

Dnk Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Whats the camber like as that will affect the clearance I'm guessing you've got this tool to work out wheel fit differences http://www.willtheyfit.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjs_82 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I have 275-40-18 on the rear and no rubbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Yeah I’ve already checked that. The car has a fast road setup and has reasonable negative camber, as it eats the insides of the rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Well after a quick look today it seems my rears are et30, not 35. So that’d be why it’s rubbing! I’ve got the arch roller out and sorted it now though. I split a little of the seam sealer in the inside lip, anyone know if you can buy it? So I can dig it out and re-seal.
