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!

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

what about 255 0r 265 on 18x7.5 will they fit?
|
waste of time, the shop cant seat the R888 265/35/18 on the stock OEM 8" wheels....
|
get a new shop
what area do you live in? |
265/35-18's fit fine on 8" rims. They say (Falken) that 8.5" rim is the minimum width for that tire. But I don't see an issue with 1/4" less per side on the rim. I run 265/35-18's on 8" rims. They're fine.
|
I wonder if the tires will rub at full lock.
|
I ran 265s on 10.5" wheels lowered and no rubbing, also 295's on 8" wheels, what part about they fit don't you understand?
unless you're planning to run some whacked out wheel offset you won't have a problem |
