How did you Luke them? I've never tried those tires but have been curious.
Faster tire I have run minus a Hoosier. Back in the day when TD' s where fresh they were crazy crazy fast. 4 year TD's are faster than any 100 tread wear tire on the market currently.
Ya the NT 315 does look a little squished on an 11, would for sure be happier on a 12 but it may push the top out just past the wider wide fenders LOL Who's got 315 bfg's or Hoho's laying around haha. I need to see if we can get a 315 to fit on a 11 or 12" and turn lock to lock without rubbing with xyz spacer and xyz offset. Or barely rubbing.
Heres my 315s mounted on a 12" wheel. Just a bit of stretch being the max wheel size for the tire. The wheel is a 32 offset to really push how much space is inside, which is really not much. I'll have to make a special lower control arm to shift the shock in about 5-8mm for spring perch clearance and cut the inner fender well to shift a bit of material. The easier method would be a +20 wheel put push things out that 12mm, but easy is boring
I'm not totally sure yet but it will be tight. Need my long arms to finish anodizing so I can put them on and check with the lower scrub. I should be able to get rid of or at most run a tiny spacer. Inside clearance should all be the same because I'm as close inboard with the 285s as I can be.
Test fitting the 315’s. Turns out these are 11” wide wheels (wish they were 12’s) but they are borrowed. Have stacked spacers currently to achieve 12 offset in front and 17 offset in the rear (wheels are 52 offset). The biggest issue is the body seam that cannot be modified per sp rules. Not sure it will work...
^ Are these hoosiers? From D's close up pics it seems 12 is streching it a bit so I'm unclear how you think 11 is small unless you get closer pics.
It's starting to sound like +22 ish offset is the ticket for this width? I know V$lk makes the Te37's in a +18 in a 18x11.
They are Hoosiers. Not saying they are small, I was just wanting the 12 to eliminate some of the tire deflection, so the car would be more "crisp". I haven't decided what I'm going to do just yet.....
