All other wheel threads are now irrelevant. 255's on 9.5"

255/40/17 Toyo R1R Tyres on Wedsport TC-005 17x9.5" 35mm 7.4kg wheels

Not really my cuppa. I don't like tyres. Case in point:

 

[bradc]

Haha, I knew you'd say that. Look at my pics from 3 years ago for 235/45/17 GSD3's on the same wheels. I did actually think there would be a bit more stretch, but then these are very wide for a '255' tyre

 

[king_panther]

Nice legs Brad.

Never noticed you had mudflaps before either...

 

[unclepaulie]

yeah...nah





+1 for the Stretch crew


(that said, perfect for track, id consider a 245 for track)

 

[bradc]

I already own Direzza 03G's in 225/45/17 for the track that go fine on my EVO 9 wheels. I'll also have 225/45/17 Toyo C1S's on my other TC-005's in 17x8 38mm offset soon. Thinking of a 15mm bolt on at the rear for those though.

Still haven't got any shoes?

 

[ygoslo]

Lose the mudflaps and it'll look heaps better, BTW!

 

[bradc]

Scott, I have shoes, I just don't wear them

Tim, nahh I like the mudflaps now, the 255's follow them down nicely.

 

[JiMi]

looks tuff

Nice. I would have thought there would be issues on the front under full lock.

I'd love to tun 255/35R18s on my wheels but it would be far too mexicano.

 

[jungle]

Does the front rub?

 

[bradc]

I did try full lock in both directions and didn't have any problems. I haven't been out for a proper drive yet as the rears rub. Once I get my custom Bilsteins (hopefully towards the end of this week) I'll take the car to a panel beater and get them to sort it out for me.

 

[pu-11-me]

Meh, 255's are old news

But awesome that you can run them at all four corners. I'm a little jealous to be honest lol

Also, fix the camber on the back. only about 50% of the tyre is touching the tarmac!

 

[Tom]

epic

 

[steveP]

Now lower it!

 

[Nitephyre]

Fitment looks tough, but I don't like the wheels... maybe in another colour they'd be alright.

Sweet so a static check Just looking at them makes me think the panel beater will be called into action, but i'll be happy for you if their services aren't required

 

[TME_Steve]

They look good Brad, what I don't get is they look like they have miles of neg camber at the tyre but the wheel looks fairly upright to me????

Matt - What colour wheels do you reckon for a trigger car?

 

[king_panther]

Missing some centre caps by the looks of it too?
