Hoosier 275/18 A6 Fitment

Folks,

I have been running RA1s on 18*10 ET25 wheels 275 square setup.

The Hoosier 275 A6 seems wider than the RA1s. Will these fit on the front of the car without requiring spacers on a stock suspended vehicle running -2.5 camber?

Thanks

Lutfy

They'll fit fine. Hoosiers actually don't really run that wide, at least the 275/35-18s I have recently had (and sold).

I ran R6s in 275/35 square ET25 18x10 with -2.9 camber with no rubbing. I forget which size Hoosier runs WAY wider than the numbers on the side but 275/35-18 is not it.

I think that's the 255's. They run wide to the point of NASA assigning them extra cheater tire points in width limited classing schemes

Great tire for earlier BMWs as they are wide but short

Those are the ones. I knew NASA assigned extra points to whichever they were and make you assume they were 275 for points purposes.
