28" tire with 3:31 gear?

[justablur91]

radial options for 18" rim 600-700hp

in the market for new tires whos running what radials on the street in the 600-700hp range with good luck i dont want to buy the nt555r's again, doing some research dosent look like theres much good out there for an 18' rim. might have to go down to a 15"

i have stock 2007 wheels widened to 18x11 and car is lowered using vans dead hooker spring kit without the perches and im debating MT 345/35/18 theyre 27.5" ,but wondering if ill get major rubbing with them though. currently running toyo proxies tq 315/35/18 with no rubbing.

im leaning towards the 305/35/18 if i keep my stock wheels but id love to run a 15" on the back with a 28" tall tire but wont be good with the 3:31s

How do the Toyo's hook? I just bought 305/45/18 M/T's. A little taller than I wanted, but was unsure about going 05R or Toyo.

Curious why you would use springs without perches? Do they make the car too high?

so what's the question now?

28" tire with 3:31 gear?

sluggish off the line IMO

M&H 325/40/18

^+1 on being sluggish. From what I gathered, going to an inch taller tire is going to be like dropping your gear ratio down a peg. If you had 3.73's itd be sort of like dropping it down to 3.55's which wouldn't be too horrible but 3.31's are not going to be fun with that size tire.

hey stkjock ive seen you car many time at OBI over the summer love those wheels. m&h seem like a good option but im still running a stock 9.5 wheel that 325 is too wide. how do you like the m&h on the street?

toyo r-888's, great tire for traction and handling. I had the 305-18 with mid 600 rwhp. great tire!

Thanks. I have them on a 10" wheel. they would bulge a bit on a 9.5" but I think you'd be ok

I'm a big fan of the mickey Thompson ET street II's. I've got the 305/35/20's on my Alcoa's and Im putting down 812. With my 3.31's I can hit 60 in 1st, 100 in 2nd, 140 in 3rd, and 183 in 4th. They're horrible in the wet, but above 600 wheel you probably wont be taking it out in a thunderstorm anyways.

305/35/18 et street seems to be best option on a stock wheel or the nt05r 285/40 if i dont go with a 15" wheel and a slick
