I have the RTR wheels on my 12 5.0. Ive heard a few people say that due to these wheels offset that you cannot run a tire wider than a 275. is this true? I would really like to put some R888s out back and if so can I get away with the 305? Thanks!
Is the r888 the best options for the 9.5 rims, for straight line traction? Any other recommendation ?
Please pm me once that's gets sorted out bud!in for the response.
as far as talking with chris (98saleencobra) his car was making similar power to mine and with 4.10s. So I think that I should be ok with my setup 3.31s. I really wanted a 35 series tire, but unfortunately I haven't really had much feed back from anyone with cars that make power like ours do. Not to mention with the RTR wheel offsets ive been limited to the sizes and from what I hear the 295s will be sand blasting my rear fender. ill be able to post more info once they arrive and my pops takes the car to get the new tires mounted, balanced and sends me some pics.
The R888 is an awesome tire but it is designed for road race applications. This means the sidewalls are very stiff for steering response and cornering. The R888 is definitely sticky but from a dig the sidewalls won't flex a lot which is what you really want. For more traction from a dig I recommend wider wheels mounted with drag radials.
