Ordered a set of Advan RS 18x9 +29 last week should be here tomorrow according to fedex. At first was set on getting Dunlop Dirrezza Star Specs 255/35/18 which is size I'm going to run did a little research and learning that they run a little wider than other tires the same size anybody have this set up is there rubbing issues my car is not lowered yet and would rather not have to roll rear fenders if I only need to change tire brands to make work also tirerack must have just went up on price for these yesterday $225 now today $248 maybe I should ordered already.

 

Awesome tire, prob the top on the boards right now. Haven't seen any that run wider than the actually are. Lots of guys running that size dropped with no issues so I don't see why it wont work.

 

Thanks Neal did this price increase just go into effect, because yesterday I was first having trouble even pulling them up then today they came right up but with higher price.

 

Yeah, looks like they went up at midnight.

 

Get the Hankook RS3 those will smoke the dunlop for performance, if you want budget tires, get the hankook k110 V12 evo they are having 50 dollar rebate now too and the price is really good for 255/35/18

 

Wut? Proof of this statement?

 

I run that exact wheel and tire combo man. No worries. I'm lowered on Swifts and have no problems. You'll love the tires!

 

I had the star spec and now running the hankook RS-3 they feel very close to R-compound tires.

 

Yeah, thats not proof thats your opinion. Which r-comps have you raced on? There is a HUGE difference between the feel of a street tire and r-comp.

 

agree, smike evo is sooo right. btw, checkout grassroots motorsports revciew of Kumho exsta xs: consider them at their unbelievably low price... (i just bohgt them form tirerack)

Yeah that's my opinion and I am pretty sure I can't perform in depth analysis on tire comparative reviews like tire rack due to lack of equipments and resources.

I had raced the Toyo RA-1, well I know I sounded like fanboy on most of my replies since I recommended hankook to couple treads, but I did tried other tires, I am not saying they are bad or anything. But for the price. Hankook is good.

 

BFG KDWIIs are very good street tires too
Not 100% sure if they come in 18s, but Im running 255/40/17 on my mustang and I couldnt be happier!!

 

^a very good street tire compared to.......?

 

agreed, a good start

 

I run the Nitto Invo 255/35/18 on full coilovers no rubbing issues or anything and the tires are awsome ride and handle like a champ lol
