Rims What Have You Got

[2MUCHKW]

I run nankang 265s on my 18s they fit fine, I dont think you would eva roll them off the rim.....how hard do you want to corner....I got a little vid with the cam filming the rear wheel gets a bit of a work out

the nankangs are pretty sticky with 350kw they only just let go in second at 80ks my 20inch rims let go at any speed with a bit of boost....

have ran a 12.4 with the nankangs...

What size tyre would fit on a 19"x8.5" rim ?

I've got a set of four but would like wider tyres on the rear than the front.

Cheers

I ran 265's on the back of my first s/c xr8 with the factory 18's, never had an issue. I drove the thing hard and even done 2 track days and never had an issue.

Best street legal tires that grip are Nitto 555R's or the new 18' MT radial's.

Are you looking at the RS-R's? Have a look at the load index for the those 18in 265 Federal's. Its not up to spec. Listed as 93W cant think off the top of my head what the tyre placard says. This could be classed as a defect and your insurance may not like this...?

You know whats interesting, my mate stuck a set of them on his modded SR20 180SX. Even though its running stiff coil overs it barely breaks them loose... I was shocked!!!!

I need some quick help also

I have the BF XR^ turbo with its origininal rims.

The specifications say 17x8"

I have ordered new Marangoni mythos for it

Now I have been offered a good deal from a friend for a nice set of mags and the specs say 17 by 7.5" offset 38. Tell me will these rims be ok for the marangoni I order with the half inch less on them.?

I would appreciate any comments please.

Will this hinder the performance?
