Terminator Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Who is running 275/35/18 or 275/30/18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I'm on fronts=245/40ZR18 and rears=275/35ZR18. These are the standard sizes for the Lexus wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 I was asking because the 35 profile gives much better speedo accuracy. Probably feels like a cart on 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Originally posted by Terminator Who is running 275/35/18 or 275/30/18? Worried about rubbing? On stock suspension 275/35/18's should be fine, but I'm just running 255/35/18 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 I think rubbing on 18's even lowered is unusual until you get above 285. The 275/35's are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I'm running 18/35/275 on the back, with Tein shocks which are set slightly lower than standard. I get a little rubbing on the wheel arch when REALLY pushing it around a corner, no problem with normal driving though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 You should have no probs with 285's on 18's with 35 height on stock UK suspension, is J-Spec the same? I dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 what about stock 17`s is biggest rubber 285 Mark, I've got 285/40/17's on Standard Supras at the back... (Khumo 712's) They haven't rubbed at all yet, but I AM on standard suspension ! [They've now had Pod' / York / Motorway / town / even a fight with an Esprit on a large roundabout..... still no rubbin' ...] HOWEVER, just for 'looks' the 285 does look a bit 'tractor-y' ? ! If/When I slaughter 'em, I'll prob' go down to 275's... ABSOLUTELY NO WHEELSPIN AT YORK WITH ~1.2Bar (just a minor squirm as it changed to 3rd:p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 no worries mate.... as it happens, I had a really good day (so did me' Dad), NOT just 'cos we both got some better times, but, I thought the whole atmosphere at York was VASTLY superior to that at Pod'. Alright, the 'hardware' there was cheaper, or rather, more like REAL cars, but it was the friendliness of EVERYONE; the runners; the staff etc even the Burger van people ( ). The blokes in the tower COMMENTATING to the spectators, telling names ( )/ cars/ engines and then times/speeds. Made the whole day more 'fun'. Even 2 young ladies 'wetting' each other as well as washing screens at the Burn-Out point:moo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yeah, but York's a bit far isnt it Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
