Hoosiers for These Wheels ??

Since we are close to delivery on the 19 R spec wheels, I was looking at Hoosiers last night. Looks like they do not sell the exact same sizes. 315 is Ok but no 305, have to drop to 295. :doh:

Has anyone looked at the tire to wheel well clearance on possibly using their 315/30F and 325/30R? Looks like total height is OK, but I do not know about wheel well clearance.

Any info appreciated.

A friend of mine ran 315s on all four corners on his R stock wheels a couple weeks ago and no rubbing. That's what I will be running. The 325 won't fit out back but even if it didyou would likely have too much understeer.

Crap so.... 325/30-19 tires out back on R-spec wheels are a no-no?

I posted this before but the difference from stock isn't overly significant... I have a free set of any 4 Continental Tires coming to me and I was looking at mounting the ContiForceContact (Streetable Track & Competition) with 305/30-19 up front and 325/30-19 on the rear. Continental street high-performance tires are usually rounded-edged too unlike Michelins with more squared-edges... this may help since the Contis have a little less actual width contactpatch measurements.

I can't say for certain, but he didn't think they would fit based on how far the 315s poked already. Also I was referencing Hoosier R7s and have no idea how the Contis would compare. These cars (being street cars) have understeer built into them. I am guessing a 325 out back is just going to push anyway, but that's obviously up to each driver's comfort level and preference.

What tire was used for the 315s on all 4 corners. I would be very interested in doing this for mine when they arrive. Any downside to this vs the traditional 305/315?

 

[superman07]

Also seeing how these r Specs look pretty different as far as the amount of lug protruding from the center would it be stupid or ridiculous to use a slightly longer lug nut to try and keep it more 350rish?

 

[superman07]

I thought I read Toyos in 325/30-19 fit the rear however they were supposedly undersized. .

 

[CSL]

Some sets are being fitted with 325 Nitto Invos, which tend to be a bit undersized. Those will be for street use. My bet is a staggered 305/325 for street use would work fine, just check section width and tread width of the 325 to ensure it's not an overly wide 325. A good example of a wide 325 is the Hoosier R7, so check tire specs. The problem in going with a staggered 305/325 for track use is that setup will likely exacerbate understeer. A squared setup with 305s or 315s will be pretty neutral on track.

Charlie,

I have increased the order amount so I have a few more sets available in this first batch.

Depends on the brand of tire, R compounds are pushing it but something like the Nitto invo ya seems the 325 will work.
