2snakes Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 You should be fine. I have Ford Motorsports springs. Will i still be fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimazo Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 The tire you mention, besides being narrower than stock (275 vs 285, plus Nittos run narrower than most brands), are almost 2 full inches taller than stock. You are effectively changing your gearing to 3.09, which is the wrong direction (this, of course, is moot if you already have 3.73's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 305's are even hang outside the wheel well unless you have weldcraft widen the rim. Im running 275/35 NT05 on my super snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 on my ss rims i have the nitto 555R 305/35/20 and front i have 275/35/20.. no rubbing, i have 680 rwhp and it grips pretty good. I've only got 275/35x20 on my Alcoa 20" now. With about the hp your motor is producing, I have no grip on 1st and 2nd even on dry pavement with warm tires (Toyo T1R). Was thinking of going wider, but never imagined that my 10" wheels would accomodate a 305/35x20 set-up. Do you have any close-up pictures of your car? I assume you're running on a lowered suspension as I am (H&R springs) - does it ever scrape? - BORG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
