Also take note that tire reviews for R-compounds are usually from racers who have very high standards and only want the best. At that price, the nitto's are bang for the buck and good for what they are.

From Summit Racing-
Tire Diameter: 24.40 in.
Section Width: 9.49 in.
Minimum Recommended Wheel Width: 8.00 in.
Maximum Recommended Wheel Width: 9.50 in.
You 'da man! Tires just came in and the shop measured the bead right at 9" which put me further at ease. Appreciate all the info, and I'm getting excited to mount everything up. I've done a handful of track days bone stock or close enough, so this will be fun to see the difference.

Edit: not sure why I didn't get the mentioned notice, glad I check this forum frequently
