I have 265/35/18 on all 4 (18 x 9.5 rims)

Plenty of room for 275s...

But why would you want to?

The 265s tramline like all hell - and the steering is pretty heavy. You've got all the grip you need - no point going wider.

Just my 2c.

Thanks... Jamezilla

I just put some 19's on the the car, & because they were different size widths the ATTESA was going hay-wire. So I was about to order some more tyres but the only size I could get Good Year REV SPEC in was 275 /19 /30. I'll just stick with the originals, they ride so much more better. Spewing coz my rims look FHAT!

Just read your other thread...

275s will fit - provided your suspension is set at factory height. You may need castor adjustment though.

With the 265s on full-lock (with new-improved 'speedboat' suspension) they just clear the splash-panels under the gaurds. Mind you - I have adjustable castor-rods... not sure if they make any good/bad difference though.

I imagine I would still experience some rubbing on tight, speedy turns (not all that common) as the car natuaraly shifts it's weight.

Best you can do is try them. I'm sure the tyre place will let you check them out?

275s are fine.

I was running 275s on my 18x10s for quite some time until I changed tyres to the Azenis ST115 which doesn't come in 275.

I tried it both on stock suspension and my Tien RAs.

As James said though, steering may get a bit heavy though and unless you really need the grip, stick to the 265s.

I completely agree.

To be honest with you... dunno what the brand is but I haven't seen any other car with them. I have had them for about 2years, they were originally of my CLK Benz. The offset for the rear is OK, however the front stick a little more into the guard thean normal. Again dunno if this is an issue aswell???

Here are the pics... tried to also get a close up of the rim. PS: Note - these were off my CLK so no smart comments about the Benz / AMG logos :D I planned to change them.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up fitting the originals this morning & how happy am I ;)

Thanks for the compliment mate.. but I still wipe my own "@ss" so i'm no different to you guys. Let leave the Mums & wives out of this OK :D

- I'm 29

- Got kicked out of school in Year 10

- Property "with my family"

By the way, I haven't picked up E55 yet. 2 more weeks. Though it is the country. Honestly, I prefer driving the GTR, but the E55 is a V8 & nothing sound like a V8 especially supercharged.

Haha - the poor little thing hasn't been out and about for a little while - so maybe there's a twin KGB tractor too!?

Anyway, now you know the car please dont drive over with your Hummer

You know... it probably could get a fair way up the bonnet... if it could catch you :cool:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
