the 275's nitto's fit PERFECT on my 9.5's......

 

I wont even address this stupid *** post.

 

Well what do ya think about the 265?

 

i think 265, 275 is fine...
Mount some nice Toyo T1-s and let us see some bling bling wheels on a bling bling car

 

265 was actually the size I wanted for my 9.5 rears, but they didn't have it in the RA-1's. I thought 275's would be too much of a differential from my 235's up fron caausing me to understeer.

Since you are more of a drag/street racer rather than a road race or autocross (as far as I know) addict I would think you would want as wide of a contact patch in the rear as you can get.

 

i guess my post doesn't count. i have 275/40/17 on my 9.5 rims and they fit fine LOL

 

Just so you guys understand my rears are 9" wide not 9 1/2"

Thats why I just wanted confirmation on a 265 fitting.
I understand that a 275 would be to wide for my 9" rim.

Correct?

 

Yep. Just run the 235/45 and 255/50 or 265/40 sizes discussed earlier. You'll be set.

 

Those look really nice. I've never seen that style rim before. I bet they're pretty light.

 

Ok thanks Ryan, Im getting ready to go to tire rack and order them now.

JPandes, they are very light. If I had a scale I would weight them.

 

Ok I just bought some Kumo supra 712's
265/40/17 rear
235/45/17 front.

I should have them by next Thursday.

 

Kuhmo? Come on now Dave

 

Kuhmos are just as good as any other Japansese tire.
I have been through nitto 555r drag, 455, Yoko a520, Poteza so2, Dunlop sp5000. I talked to Peter and Ryans dada about what tire to get. They both suggested Kuhmos or Sumitomos. The kuhmos were priced right and they had those sizes in stock in the kuhmos so thats why i got them.
Peter told me that most all the Jap tires are good quality.
I was hesitant at first about them but for the price I figures I had nothing to lose.

 

I got them for $425.96 shipped.

 

I would recommend the AVS ES100 over the Kumho. They are decent for the price, but I like the ES better. Treadpattern and all. They are not much more at all, if any.

Rishie

 

They aren't bad but you could do alot better for a little more money. I've had both Kumho and Yokohama and I'll take the Yokohamas anyday

 

The AVS ES100's were the tires I was going to buy. I was all set in my head when I called there. The rears were on back order till late June at Tirerack.com so I settled for the Kuhmos instead. I am trying to get all this stuff done before rotorfest in Late June.
So I really didnt hjave alot of choice. I would have taken the Yokos also.
But the Kuhmos were available and the price was good. My budget was $550. So I did have more cash to spend, i just didnt get a chance to.
Bastards, making me feel bad. LOL

 

Khomos are prolly OK, they're just a little hard. Don't expect to suck man-hole covers up.

 

its ok you can do what i did...... do lots of burnouts etc until they finally wear out then get really good tires for the rears

i'm waiting till my front kumho's get messed up then i'm gonna replace them with falken azenis

 

huh , why is my post stupid? oh well nm, i gotta go clean my brabus rims on my bimmer.

 

hey does anyone know where i can get a nismo shift **** for my fd?

 

Because in my head rims are rims man.
If I had a stupid sticker or some other useless ammenity I might see your point.
But I dont
I guess Im just not cool, BooHoo
I'm sure I am really missing out. Either way I could care less.

Maybe i'll go and buy me a red honda badge to sport my new found lust for rikkiness.

 

Rookie, everyone knows that real power lies in "Powered By Honda" stickers!!!

 

you ****** ricer. gimme your rims now

 

LOL
