track tires w/eibach springs

Fen335i · 07-11-2010, 11:07 PM

Hey Guys - I'm getting ready to buy my track tires for this summer and had a question on sizing.

I have he eibach springs on the car and have 18" aftermarket rims (18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 9.5 rear). I was going to go with the Nitto NT01 tires, with 245/40ZR18 and 275/35ZR18's.

Will his set fit nicely with the the Eibach springs or will they rub?

Thanks!

If the offsets are remotely close to stock then the fit will be fine. The real question is "will you actually be able to get the NT-01's?" Apparently there's been a shortage of those particular sizes.

depends on the offest

They are VMR VB3's, so I believe they are 20mm offset on the front and 22mm offset rear.

Any issues running the setup described in my original post w/eibach springs?

I have a set of 245/275 NT01 that I am unloading, 1 trackday @ Street of Willow..

So far, I ran 2 track day with my 265/275 NT05 and pretty happy about the feedback of the tire. My car is on stock suspension by the way.

Good luck.
