275/35/18s on a VR4 need a quick answer - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Buckeye Stealth · 05-03-2008, 02:37 PM

On a local forum a guy is selling his brand new, never mounted Toyo R888s. I have 265/35/18 BFGs on Enikei rims & TEIN coilovers now and they fit nice. (have Cianci widebody front fenders). For the $275 ea price, I'd love to get them if they'll fit with no problems. I plan on doing track days and these are supposed to be a great tire for that.
TIA, John

I went out and checked, the offset is 35mm and the width is 8.5".

What is the offset of your rims?

I know they fit fine with stock struts, and they *should* fit with tiens, but that mostly depends on your hub's eccentrics adjustment. the farther out that adjustment, the more room you have.

i have 275/35 18's on my 10" volks. they fit fine. you'd actually be running the correct tire diameter with them. you should have at least 9.5' rims. 9's may work...but 9.5's are the best.

I got 275/30-19 all around, havent had a problem with them.

Several different sources told me that they would work, so I got them before someone else did. $1100 plus $50 in gas to get them, not a bad deal.
