40 series sidewall

[phayze]

In the next couple months I was gonna order a new wheel/tire setup.
Enkei NT03
18x9.5/10.5 offset 27front 30rear

I would rather get a 35 sidewall but I'm a fan of a thicker sidewall. I get a decent discount on nitto tires and was gonna get
275/40/18 nt05 fronts
315/40/18 nt05r rears

Anyone ever run a sidewall like this and have issues? I do have low pro bolt, rolled fenders on h&r sport springs

More meat the better for the rear end. You wont regret it.

I ran a 255/40 and a 295/40 on my Cobra, looked great IMO and noticed no real difference.

Yeah I know a bigger sidewall in the rear is better. I was more concerned in the front for rubbing issues. Thanks for the pics, I've seen your car before, love the hood

hey de do you have any problems with rubbing the reason I ask is I have fr500 wheels and 18x9 in front and 18x10 in the back with 295/45/18 out back nitto 555 and every damn bump I hit the tires rub.small bumps big bumps it doesn't matter the tires rub on every bump.The car is lowered I am not sure what the offset of the rims is they were on the car when I bought it.I actually just bought another set of matching rims to what is on the car only because they were really cheap and I planned on running street tires on one set and drag radials or a set of slicks on the other set.But do yours rub at all I will be buying a set of tires soon I can t stand the rubbing.

Where are you rubbing? metal porting of fender above the wheel well or the back where the rear bumper hits the body?
