Is this a track car or street car? I really doubt you'll see much of a real world difference between a 265 and 275 in terms of grip, and a 265 can be (relatively) easily shoe horned under your front fenders. With a square setup, you retain proper handling characteristics of the car and ability to rotate.
For "10" mm extra tread out back, you sacrifice so much....

Its just a street car... Im just going more for that "wow" factor. I love the tread design on the INVOs, thats mainly why Im going with those tires.
I originally was just planning on going with 235/40 and 265/35, which is a fairly common set up. And Im already planning on rolling the fenders to be on the safe side. I just happened to come across Texasbound's posts and wanted some thoughts and opinions |

If I'm choosing between tyres I'll check how the tread and side wall looks. I like a square side wall as well as a race-car looking tread pattern :-) Currently I'm using Bridgestone RE003 that I don't think are available in USA or they have a different model but do like the Nitto INVO "look" and had them before this set.

You'd have to run a between a 10-15mm spacer up front I'd guess to not hit the frame at full lock would be my guess. Rear would be ok with an aggressivs pull

I'm doing a LS swap and shooting for 500+ at the wheels, so I need big rubber under my car and I like how your car sits and looks in all the pictures...but I need it to be usable with aggressive driving in the "back roads" know what I mean? I'm pretty much thinking to go with your set up or do a wide body with 315's or 335's, though I'm not really excited to do a wide body. What would you advise? |

I can't recommend doing adjustable RUCAS (rear upper control arms) or RUCAS offset bushings paired with lower control arms for camber correction enough. But honestly, I don't feel any need to go widebody. I'm pretty confident that a 305mm section width tire will fit under the 86's factory quarters. I'm going to attempt it in the future, I would like to go widebody... but the stuff I want isn't very affordable lol
