Could a 265 fit no problem? How's the +45 offset as far as touching the springs

Two topics merged -- same wheel with the same staggered specs.

interested in hearing of a 265/35 would fit w/ springs. The 255s do look like they're a bit too stretched. Wondering if anyone knows the tire size posted by the OP

Enkei Raijin. Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

Front: 245/35 - 18x8.5 45mm
Rear: 265/35 - 18x9.5 45mm
Drop: Eibach Sportlines

In love.

Looks great, like the Raijin's a lot (might be getting them myself).

So are you able to break traction anymore? Really worried when I go to new wheels with 255's it's not going to be much fun anymore.

itdansharpe · 05-14-2013, 09:10 AM

I love them too. It took a long time to decide, but the weight, style, and offset sold me. The tires are brand new, still a bit greasy, and pre turbo I could spin them. I would assume that once they wear in a bit it'll be impossible with stock power. Your solution is simple: turbo FTW.

Very nice. I just ordered a set of Raijins myself. Did you consider other tires before going with the hankooks?

ChandlerSwyng · 05-17-2013, 02:25 PM

I have a red brz, deciding between titanium gray and black, post some more pics?

I didn't. I had them on my 335i same width in the rear and that car could barely break traction. Plus they held up in the corners, didn't develop flat spots, were quiet on the highway, etc.

In short, I love these tires.

I was in the same boat but ultimately decided on the gunmetal after seeing this pic:

You guys are really making me want to switch to the 9.5" rears. Looks farking awesome.

itdansharpe · 05-17-2013, 08:55 PM

That pic was what inspired me to get these rims... I admit, I had a tough time deciding on gunmetal, but am glad I did, since my Ferodo Race pads put out a TON of brake dust.
