PIC REQUEST: 295/30/18 on 18x8 OEM Wheels
 
I searched and found a bunch of old posts with people saying they ran 295/30-18 on the OEM 18x8 but for the life of me, can't find any photos! Pretty sure I've seen it here before.

If you have any photos of 295/30/18 on 18x8" please post in this thread. Thanks!

Haha I found that photo too! I know it's been done, I can find various quotes on it; hopefully someone will have at least one pic.

You will find that most b-stockers will run 245/35/18,255/35/18,285/30/18, or 295/30/18 on n 8" wheel

Do you really think it will look much different than a 285/30-18? Or do you want the pic to prove it can be done?

295??? really? I want to see one on an oem wheel of an rx8, just curious how it looks like...

TeamRX8 05-07-2013 05:21 PM
probably have some on OE-size aftermarket wheels (SSR etc) somewhere, but not on OE wheels

Ah of course, definitely better options for BS than stockies! If you have any would you mind posting?

So does the added weight out weigh the benefits if added grip?

I run 245/30/18 Dunlop DG03 semi slick at the moment and I have not tried wider tires. I get a lot of outside edge tyre wear on the front tyres even after running -2 camber. My races are on circuits of around 2.5km with top speed of around 200kmph.

Depends on application. I'm fairly certain autox is the only place this practice really shines.
