265 Tyres On 18*8 Rims Pushing It?

[boostn0199]

Im looking to get ku36 tyres on my r33 and my rims are 18*8 now im wondering are the 265/35/18 to wide for 8inch rim and should I just go with 245 all round or can I scrap through with the 265 on the back?

i wouldnt.

seems pretty useless tbh, will feel like shit around corners, and if u just wanted straight line traction go 16's

Yeah I got a set of 16s for my drag tyres but these are more for wen i go gripping around the track and want something with decent grip for everyday. Yeah I was leaning towards just 245's all round.

would 265s fit on a 9inch?

why would u pay more for shit handling then?

they are too big for those rims and will just flop around on the rim giving poor feel, response and in a lot of cases mid-corner grip depending on how much the tyre distorts.

yes, but 255 is as big as i would go.

people should remember that balance is key, going for ridiculous sizes on the rear is useless for circuit if u cant get anything close to that on the front. most gts-t's arent running nearly enough power to justify a huge tyre width stagger from front to rear, most do best with a close to neutral balance due to their inherent understeer issues. and if ur talking gtr, well even moreso.
