Important info before flaming!!
-The car right now is being widen and i am waiting for my rear rims (volk gtav 19*10.5 with -5mm offset) so the 305/30/19 will not rub at all..

-Also i know my consumption will go to the sky and i ll be slower BUT as i said the project is not over..In 2months the renesis will spin the rear tires easily..Stay tuned...

When i ll add the tires in the car i ll post comments...

This thread is open now just for sawing something new..


CLICK THE THUMBS FOR BIGGER IMAGES

 

Very cool. Post pics when you're finished mounting them.

 

I want to see these mounted on your car. I don't think I've ever seen anything bigger then 285's on an 8 before.

 

Cool, but is it just for looks? I understand 500hp cars having 300+ wide tires in the back, but on an Rx8. But they do look nice, no doubt about that.

 

why didnt you get WIDE tires? lol.

 

^Hahaha As you can see the 305 has very small difference from the stock tire in the speedometer not like the 265/30....Anyway..I ll post pics as soon as i ll get the rims..I am waiting for em

 

so what are you planning on doing with all this rubber and why are you still so small in the front? You must have a MASSIVE rear sway bar and other accomodations in the rear to balance this car back out?

 

I am planning a lot of things...As i said please wait 2months more...This tire will spin like mad...

 

can you say understeer?


haha congrats man, those tires mustve been some $
