Widest front tire you've used, bigger than 235?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm beginnign to track my Fiji and it's going to be time for some big rubber soon. I''m most likey going to runt he FNO1R's 17X9 +15 up front and 17X10+12 in the rears. What's the largest tires you've seen widebody StarQuests run up front?

Thanks,

Damon

a 275 race tire is similar to a 255 street tire (accord to Sully, whom I've discussed this with) and they rubbed on his car, mustang wheel, so probably a 20-25mm offset with a 15mm spacer on a 17x9 rim. But he did not have his fenders rolled.

 

I still have a 235 on a 18x8.5, but when I replace the tires I'll be putting a 245/35/18 on, and by then I'll have a 15 mm spacer on the front, rolled fenders, on a 22mm offset rim, so a combined offset of +7

Im running 265/35/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rear. I cannot run a 265 on the front without coilovers, as the spring perch touched the tyre. I can supply pics if needed.

Pics would be awesome! What are the dimensions on your rims including offsets and any spacers? Are your tires street or race tires/

Thanks,

Damon

The fronts are a 9 inch rim and the rears are a 10.5. Offsets i will have to check for you on the weekend, when i take more detailed pics. The tyres are Falken ziex which is a road tyre. These rims came off a r32 gtr in japan, no spacers required.

That is some serious tire! Looks pretty sweet. Are those 18's or 19's? Ofsets and pics of the front would be cool if you could find them. Especially since you didn't use spacers. Do those rub pretty bad?

Thanks,

Damon

you might be able to see the label with offsets through the spokes on the inner hub.
