Picked Up New Wheels/Tires.. Do I Need Low Profile IRS Bolts??

[ejm979]

I just picked up a set of 18x9 & 18x10 Saleen wheels with tires already on them. The rear tires are 265/35/18. Can anyone tell me if I am going to have clearence issues. I dont think I am but have heard of people having to switch to low profile IRS bolts with certain wheels...
Thanks...

Should be OK with such narrow tires. Can't say how good that's gonna look though..

u need to ditch those little 265's asap! that's a tire for a 9' wheel and on the front. Even factory cobra 9' rims had 275 in the rear.

I would buy some 305/35/18 for the rear maybe even some 315's


and yea you will not have any clearance at all those are baby tires lol:nonono:

Agreed thats a very small tire out back. Thats basically what I'm running up front and 305/35/18's out back. I don't think I needed the irs flat bolt but I installed it anyways. Took maybe 10-15 minutes to do both sides.

To answer your question no. I agree with the others that the tire is waaay to small for a 10" wheel. Also, change your sig to reflect the color your car to Mystichrome as Mystic was the 96 color.

Thanks for the replies... I thought the tires looked a little on the small side. I really didnt mind as I got a pretty good deal on real saleens with new pirelli tires. I might just end up selling the tires on craigslist...
