    10.5" Hoosier slicks

    hehehe, they fit!

    They make my 8" rotas look teeny though, maybe I'll get some 15x10 steelies...

    Who wants pics? :)

            The fronts needed a 5mm spacer to leave enough clearance against the strut. The rears fit with no spacer. The front tire will be tucked inside the fender more since i add neg camber at the track.

















            I know i dont need this much tire. The whole idea is rediculous but I got them for close to nothing so I figured, "Why the hell not!"

            The tire size is 22.5-9.5-15

              wouldn't these be similar in size to the 275/35-15 hoosiers? I think those are 10.3" wide and 22.9" in diameter.

                Similar size but the construction and rubber compound will be totally different.

                    Cool, now I wonder what happens when the suspension compresses. You might have some more massaging to do but just that much tire under there is going to rock your world.

                      Wow, what shocks and spring rates do you have on the car or plan to use with those tires ?

                        oh my god... THAT is why i bought these rims.

                        5 mm spacer huh... part in reason i pushed so hard for a less offset originally!!!

                          No one was ever expecting to run anything nearly this wide though. Even a 245 R-comp should fit just fine without spacers.
