Robert M Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 what is the widest tire i can run on 20x10 rims 2007 super snake? best tire in a drag radial? thanks I have no drag radial info., but for a street tire set-up a 295/35 fits nicely on a 10" Alcoa, if you step up to a 305/35 the tire gets rather tall and "fat looking" to the point of almost being pinched looking like it is too small for the rim...........it fits but looks pinched. <<This will also depend upon tire brand because tires of the same size among the different brands are not equal.

2007tungstenGT500 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 yeah, r888. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007tungstenGT500 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 not sure about r888 sizes but, generally speaking, on 10" rims you could probably get away with a 305/30 (not 35). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venem07 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Would i have any problem with the nitto 305 35 20 with clearance in weelwell with rubbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperStangs Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Would i have any problem with the nitto 305 35 20 with clearance in weelwell with rubbing? Not at stock ride-height. I believe most of the Nittos in sizes we run are between 28.1 and 28.6 in diameter. The section widths are +.5 to + 2.0. Make sure your wheel offsets are correct.

venem07 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 My car is lowerd with the super snake set up would a 285 or 295 tire be better? Just looking for best straight line traction. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 My car is lowerd with the super snake set up would a 285 or 295 tire be better? Just looking for best straight line traction. Thanks If I were doing 9" front 10" rear for the street, I would do 255/35 front and 295/35 rear. This set-up fits the 9" and 10" Alcoa nicely. I can dig out some "installed" pictures if you would like to see them....... R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm pretty conservative, so yes that's about the widest I would go on a 2007. Robert M would be correct. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venem07 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Nitto does not offer a 295 Any other ideas on a differnt drag radial I believe i read somewhere that people have ran the 305 35 20 and it had a slight bulge on side wall Just looking for est tire for dry traction Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullittsupersnake Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi have 20x10's running in my rear and just put 305 35 20's in the rear and they fit great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venem07 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Bullittsupersnake Is your car lowered? Do they make a spacer that i could raise the rear end up 1 inch? thats how much taller the nitto 305 35 20 is?????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Here is a Pirelli 305/35/20 on a 10" Alcoa, this owner also mentioned that his fender lips touched the 305/35's over moderate bumps with a small amount of weight in the back seat. The picture above also has a "BEFORE" attached to it. The owner was not happy with the amount the 305/35 stuck out beyond the rear fender. The "AFTER" is shown below, this owner spent approx. $2000 to have his axle assy. shortened by 1/2" or each side to get rid of the "stick out", but the picture below does show the 305/35 P Zero fit on a 10" rim........it is getting to the point of the appearance of being "pinched" by the narrow 10" rim. If you are not going to spend $2K to shorten your axle, this is the "stick out" factor with the 305/35, you may also have rear fender contact as this owner did because of the overall height being approx. 1" taller than the tire that came on the car, and the bulge that the 305/35 has on a 10" Alcoa. Some like this look, others do not. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Since I was digging back in my Alcoa tire fitment archives, here is the 275/35 - 295/35 Alcoa 9"10" I mentioned a couple of posts above. Nice fit, minimal to no stick out. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venem07 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks very much for your replies. I think I am going to check in on some spacers to raise my car 1/2 or 1 inch to eliminate tire rub. Any more suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated and I will definitely post what I do and how it works. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venem07 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Had tires installed tuesday nitto nt01 285 35 20 Weather in michigan has been in the 90s en very humid the car dont seem to like this, way down on power. I went for a ride today and was able to see how they hooked up. Much better than the pirelli. First gear still spins Second almost no spin. I think if i heated them up a little more they would hook even better. traction is much better and i like them Thanks for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
