Tire size for 18x9.5 et40

[BoostedDreams]

I have springs, but I wonder if these would provide enough camber to run 265's. How does it clear the rear?

Yeah I have thought the same about running the SPC ball joints but I haven’t finished maxing out my camber plates

How much camber is needed front and back to run the 265's?

I’m not sure I’m on the sameness boat as you running 235’s trying to run 265’s lol

Lol I’ll probably go with the 255’s, I was just curious what it would take to do a 265

Ohhhh for sure i am right there with you man . Keep in mind tires will vary in size even if they are advertised as the same size they vary by manufacturer & model. Even within the same size say 255.

Yes that is true ! I’m pretty set on the Indy 500’s though! I’ll get them some bitches on one way or another!

Yeah the Indy 500 is the best bang for the buck! I want another set of advans! Lol

Hey man! I know it's been awhile since this post, but did you ever get the Indy 500s in 255/35? If so, how did you like them? I'm considering getting the same pair for daily driving on the NT03. Let me know man!

I actually got a type r now with similar wheels though. 18x9.5 et35. Running a 255/40/18 which Is nearly identical diameter to OEM wheels and tires. The person who I sold my nt03’s too just ordered 255/35/18 Dunlop’s for his si. I know it’s a different brand, but I can report back this weekend on how he likes the fitment if you like.

255/35 or 265/35 are the best choices. it really depends on how low you are and the tire sidewall. my federal 595 rs-r had a square sidewall and 255s were just as wide as 265s. i've since upgraded to 255/35 continental tires which have a rounded sidewall and regret not getting 265/35.

same wheel specs mine are just powder coated matte gray.

I really like the HFP side skirts, but I'd really want a front lip that matches the down-and-outward slope of the front of the skirts (if that makes any sense ?). None of the lips I've seen match that shape. The Mugen lip comes closest, IMO, but I don't care for the linearity of the front portion of that lip. I might try to mock up a photoshop version later today for a visualization.
