[Nesquick]

on my s13 i have 17x9's with 235 40 r17's

iirc a 285 will be a perfect fit on a 10" wheel, but i have seen 305s and even 315s on a 10" before

Hers my question ; what kind of tires aree you running , and what wear rating .Cause i really don't think drag radials would spin in forth unless your pushing a lot of boost .,hp

FAIL and FAIL

The name of the thread is "17x10 Riders" not 17x9 and yes 285 does fit rather nicely on a __x10 rim...

But that won't work on a 240sx so the OP wants people who run a 17x10 wheel and what size rubber they are using.

I have done tons of research and I found that 255's would fit perfect with a roll and pull...I want 275 so I am going to have to weight my options...

I agree with all of this. There are 500hp time attack Silvia's doing just fine with 255 tires. You need a stickier compound, not wider rubber, op.

[Nesquick]

yea the tires are some Maxgrade II POS from japan. im looking into ordering some R888s.

thoughts?

thoughts?

Looks beastly.

Are these supposed to comparable to NT05's?

Agreed... and to support it here an excerpt from this article:

http://www.hotrod.com/techarti....html

"Want to see big improvements? Change the tire compound. My friend Dave bought some BFG Drag Radials for his 5.0L Mustang. His 225mm street tires spin at .59g every time, yet his 235mm Drag Radials consistently pulled .68g. That's 15 percent! A co-worker brought in his NSX with 245mm race tires, and thanks to the combined help of its mid-engine layout, we were measuring .75 g launches, over and over again! I'm not saying that wider tires would hurt, I'm just arguing that they're far more for show than go. They wouldn't double the traction. Or add 50 percent, or even 25 percent. The max we're talking is probably under 10 percent. So without tubbing the car, I can probably squeak in some 245mm tires if I had to. By trying to play the testosterone factor low on this car, my best money will go towards a set of drag radials, and selectively moving weight to the rear, not tubbing the car and running 315mm street tires."

Width will help more with cornering than accel... and will cause more understeer if you are going wider in the rear with no other adjuments...

Broadfield ran 18x8.5 +32 with 245/40's and 18x10 +44's with 275/35's on his S13.

here's how sweet a 295 will fit on 18x10 and what some of the Subie guys are up toanything more may bulge too much
