Im stuck between the RT615 or the NT05.Leaning more so to the Nittos in a 265/35/18 and Im gettin the Rotas Grids in a 18x9.5+20.For those who got the NT05 what did u guys pay for them and if anybody has the same tire setup with the Rota grids how much for the entire setup and how do they feel?Are those measurements good for a perfect tire wheel flush look?I DO NOT want the edges of the tires or wheels sticking out past each other!!!

Also im thinkin about goin to Mitsubishiparts.net to get another set of TPMS so i dont have to keep swappin them with the stockers for winter use.

 

A 255 nt-05 on a 9.5" wheel looks like a small stretch since nt05s run narrow.

TPMS won't help you as you'll have to reprogram them (not for free from the dealer) when you swap wheels....

The RT615 is an older compound. If you want those you might try the new 615K and report back.

 

A 265 or even 275 will sit fine on a 9.5" wheel. I have 263/35R18 RE-11's on my CE28's and the tire barely looks stretched, similar to stock.

 

265 would be fine on 9.5", but I think 275 would be a bit much. It would most likely make the transitions a bit sluggish.

IMO, I would not use the RT615 or NT05 considering you live in Maryland. The RT615s are known to be crap in the rain. I THINK the initial impressions of the NT05 are also poor in standing water.

 

265s it is then.I never drive the car in rain!If I do it probably only becuz I get caught in it if I already left my house.If its rainin b4 I leave my house I definetly will b driving my b18 EG Hatch!

 

I'm debating between 265's and 275's as well. The only thing I'm worried about is rubbing the fenders or wheel wells once lowered. I think 275's look *perfect* on a 9.5'' wheel, and 265's look nearly perfect, but maybe a 1cm stretch in overall width. I think for myself, I'm going with the 265's to minimize the rub potential when the wheel is full lock or when hitting bumps.
