wut size would fit on the stock wheels? the closest ones i found were 245 40 18. wouls these fit?

 

probably,maybe...

 

The safe anwser would be no. And often the difficult part is finding a shop to mount tires to wheels that "don't fit". Some shops will refuse for obvious reasons.

 

Hahn ran them on his SS/TC, I think. Ask him.

 

they fit just fine fyi

 

And Hahn also mounted them in his own shop (According to the Hahn thread).... and had problems with the TPMS on the car when he aired them down... Also something to consider.

 

That's why I said ask him.

 

i love my nitto nt01's

 

Yah they have better sizes in those... And those are competition radials though right? But still sweet... and you could get them mounted safely as they come in the proper size.

 

by the mickey's i have them they mount up with no prob. you might rub if you are full lock and going over a bump. i net 1.8 60's with them. i set my tires to 15 psi with no drivability prob. i have a tpms light thats it and it goes away when i refill. they are they best bang for the buck. I recom these for your first mod!!!

 

So they fit on the stock rims just fine? And they are 245/40/18?

 

if you are going to buy track tires, its very dumb to buy them in an 18 (at least for drag racing) save up and get some on a smaller wheel

 

Can a smaller wheel clear the large bembo calipers in the front?

the smallest you can go is 17 inch to clear the brembo and the only possible size that would fit on the stock wheels is the 245 40 18 i mount up slicks, drag radials and low profile tires all day long seeing as i work at a tire shop. you shouldnt have any problems with the tpms as long as the person mounting them knows what they are doing.

 

i believe a 17 will clear. ditch the stock 18's IMO
