Default Maximum Tire and Wheel Fitment Thread

After seeing this thread on 240sx.org, I want one for us. By maximum fitment, I mean width. That being said, make it rain.

It is raining. That's all it's done here for the past week.

It's weak compared to most RWD setups, but I figured I'd give this thread a starting point.

Tire stretch? Weak. You could have easily fit those tires on a narrower wheel, first of all. Secondly, if you had bought some wheels that actually fit your car properly, you wouldn't have had any fitment issues with that wheel width/tire combination. This isn't the low offset thread. We've already got one of those. Come back when you get something beefier to post up.

I could do you one better, bud. I'll have my floor jack with me down at IA. You can swap rears with me, down there. See if they rub on full lock and what not. They'll be on a pair of 16x7 +35's.

That RSX is crazy! What did you have to do so that you could run a 275 series in the front and still turn?

Spacers would work, but anything over 7mm would require extended studs. As much as I like your Mugens, I'd recommend getting a wider/better offset for bigger tires.

You don't have to say anything about tire stretching. You can see it in the pictures. If they are 225 - 235's, you could have put them on a 7.5" wide wheel for better tire fitment. With those 9" wide wheels, proper fitment is around 255 - 265. What you have now is perfect for the low offset thread, but those tires are just too weak for this thread.

K24, bud. There are some pictures floating around from the IA meet back in July... but currently the car is under the knife again. It'll be ready for IA this year, though.

My street/hardparking setup. 255/40 and 235/45 Advan AD07s:

Well I can still turn a bit, but I won't be doing any U turns. The tyres rub on the fenderliners and then probably hit steel before I get close to full lock. Doesn't matter for track use.

BTW its an Integra :p.

Still one of the best examples of proper tire fitment, though.
