Wheels are 18x9.5 work meister s1 2-piece, offset should be around +20, i had 265/40/18 michelin pilot sports all around n those were still fine and sat flushed. Also had 265/35/18 advan a048, kumho v70a and dunlop dz02g which all had no problems. The 275s that im looking at are Dunlop SP Sport series or Bridgestone Potenza series.

I'm running the same rims (Workmeister S1) in 18x10 +20 with 265 rubber and they j-u-s-t clear (had to flair the inner lips on the guards slightly). I guess the 275 on 18x9.5 would be around the same.

i have to be honest here. i can't see why you want 275 tyres in the first place? 265 is massive. and 255 is ample. especially on a 9.5inch rim a 275 will probably handle worse than a good 255 and the 275 will be heavier and more expensive.

no one can tell you for certain if it will fit or not. so many things will affect that. offset of your wheels? ride heigh of your car? castor setting? front camber? rear camber? height of bumptops? only way to find out is buy and try.

What he said! 275's would be craptacular on 9.5s.

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
