275/35-18 vs. 265/35-18 Tire

[tinyman392]

Sorry I wasn't as clear as I should be.
My question is for anyone running 275/35r18 with +45 offset was there any additional torque steer than stock OEM?
And more specifically if anyone has Titan 7 +45 with Michelin P4s running this size what have you encountered?
Thank you.

Higher offset helps with torque steer. Even with an offset of +42 the torque steer I get is minimal (though I'm running PS AS4s and not P4s). It's not something I worry about much, when it happens I kind of instinctively deal with it before realizing the car just did what it did. I will argue that the gains you get from going with a lighter 18" rim outweighs the torque steer you gain from doing such a move.

I'll also note that a lot of people prefer 265 width to avoid rubbing under extreme circumstances.

Have you had any issues with rubbing and if so are you on lowered or stock suspension?

265/35/18 Indy 500s on RPF1 +38
Swift springs (they are lower than most, maybe lower than all springs for the FK8)
NO RUB, even when doing "3 wheel motion" angling into the driveway.
No distracting torque steer IMO.

I'm using +42 with 245/40/18 on stock suspension, so I couldn't have rubbing issues (otherwise TireRack and Fitment Industries have a lot of explaining to do).

Apologies for replying to such an old comment, but I'm considering going with 265/30R19 on a +45 wheel. Would you possibly have any pics of what your 275/30R19's looked like on stock height?

they are almost the same size with stock, I was planning to get 275/35/18 on my 18s 45offset l. Can someone upload pics of their 275s, I would appreciate that so much??

My 295’s only rub when the wheel is fully turned and on some dips but that’s because I’m on a 40 series tire if it was a 35 it wouldn’t. My next set will likely be a 305/35/18

So I am looking into 18/9.5 + 45 with 275/35/R18.

Do you have any rub with 4 passengers or in any other way?

thanks

Would love to see some more 275/35 setups, I'm contemplating that for next season with 18x9.5 +45. Adjusting height won't be an issue with the Ohlins R&T

Had 265/35 18 on 45 offset no rub ever
Tires were Nitto NT555 G2

I just got 275/35 18 on 45 rubs on terrible roads/bumps
Michelin Pilot Sports PS4S

I rock 275/35r18 but I am also on coilovers that are rather stiff, running stock alignment specs though and only slightly lowered. No rub though on dips or anything, love it!

Back from the dead if any lurkers 275/35/18 Michelin ps4 on titan 7 ts5 18x9.5 +45 on h&r springs only rubs on deep dips.

No issue with rubbing. My car is stock height.

I'm about to grab a set of 275/35/18 Pilot Sport 4S
