295 wow that big i thought my 265-40 were big enough but mine jsut almost rub i can just stick my finger between the wheel and fender there is about half inch clearance
|
265 35 is a much shorter tire, so I shouuld clear fender. it won't rub on sway bar right?
|
Just to be clear...are we talking street tires or r-comps here?
|
Pics? I didn't know you could go wider than a 245 on stock wheels.

There are guys running 295s on stock wheels without a problem. Why do you think your ABS would get wacky?

Can you do the 265/35/18 without spacer on a bone stock vehicle? I don't want to pay $50 to put on the tires and find out they rub. Thanks (I know the autoxer love spacers)

Damn thanks man!

Thanks!

I am sorry, one last question. Did you try to take the 265/35/18 setup to the track? Any issue with the ABS flipping out due to the tires being smaller?
Thanks |
Unless you are putting down 300whp... you don't need it and will be worse in terms of performance. Go with 245's :O
You'll be much happier. Anyway, max for the rx8 rim is 255, you can't go past that unless you get a welding shop to extend the rim. |

Can you put a 265 on the stock wheel? yes Would I do it on my car? no You would be better off running 245's on the stock wheel (assuming you are talking about street tires.) |
254's?
|
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume he meant 245's :)

I have 4 265/35/18 left over from my Corvette, I will use them on my race wheels. 245/40/18 on my street rims/tires.
I kind of need something to drive as I popped one of my OEM tire and I am not allow to buy new tires until I sell all the Corvette stuff and snow tires! Yes you can fit 265 on an 8" wheels. I am only doing that as a test since I already have those tires available. |

Not only will they be a better fit for the wheel but they will be lighter and a 245 r-comp should have more grip then a 265 street tire. |
They are R comps, they were used on a 8.5" wheel with no problem
