I got my new tires and wheels.

That looks good. What tire? Toyo?

 

[04OUTLAW]

Nice, I was expecting super bulge but it looks good.

Hmmm. What is your setup out back spacer/spring/bolt wise? The difference in profile between the 315 series NT555R's that I was running and 315 series NTO5R's that I recently put on was pretty distinct. I actually drove very tentatively for a while until I was sure that they weren't going to rub, even with spacers and low profile IRS bolts. I originally wanted to go with a different wheel (10.5 inch Cobra replicas right now) and a 335 series tire because I love a fat ass, but didn't think it would fit. Interested in your comments because I think bigger out back is better!:beer:

 

[04OUTLAW]

Well I haven't put these on my T/R 04 yet but the pic in my sig have the same tires with stock IRS bolts with no rubbing.

Interested in better pics. I beleive there is more bulge than those pics show. The angle is a bit off.

I've got H&R Race springs out back with a 3/8" spacer and there's about a pinky width of clearance on the left and a little less on the right. I know things pretty much go up and down in the back with regards to suspension travel, but there is some slight deflection and I didn't think a 335 series tire would fit at all going over any kind of large bump...maybe there is just that much difference between brands of tires.

+1 id like to see more angle shots... im in the market for wide meats on a 10" rim but fearing the bulge with anything over 305s

 

[Stevo151]

Yeah that actually looks good!

A buddy of mine has Toyo TQ 345 35 18's on his 95 cobra which also has 18x10 FR500's and they look great and DONT rub surprisingly so seeing this tire setup wasnt surprising but sure does look damn and will look better once put on the car.

A 95 cobra doesn't have IRS and a who puts a 345 on a 10" wheel? :shrug:

 

[timspony]

I'd like to see them on a car.....

Agreed, I just mounted these same tires on 18x12 wheels yesterday and there is little to no bulge. I would expect a decent amount on a 10 inch wheel, these tires definitely dont run small!

 

[04OUTLAW]

These tires do bulge never said they didn't. I mounted them to see if I was gonna have to widen the wheel but after mounting them I think they'll be fine.

tells us how they hook

They hook pretty good here's a video of me on these tires on CCW's with car in my sig.

That's probably about as much bulge as I think I could take, they look pretty good.

In for pics of them on your ride.
