A7`s with nt01?

[GrumpyBimmerFan]

I have a set of a7 winter wheels, and was wondering if I can fit 245/35 and 275/35 nt01`s? I really should be getting track wheels, but its out of budget right now
I mostly track on nurburgring

Buy 2 rear a&s if possible. Square setup is sooo much better on your car.

What is a n s? Nitto doesn't make mid level sizes, they have 245 and then 275. I doubt 275 will fit up front, plus my wheels are staggered.

what is your rim width?

[GrumpyBimmerFan]

I don't remember what the a7 are, I think 8.5 and 9/9.5. Currently I have 245 up front and 265 back for winter tires... the rubber seems flush.

If they're staggered A7's they're 8" front and 9" rear, which will work fine with those widths. Not optimal, those tires would like an inch more width, but it should work fine

[GrumpyBimmerFan]

OK. Is there a danger of rolling the tire of the rim if the tire too big? I'll be running nurburgring, and some turns are 100+mph

[Richbot]

No, not if it's inflated properly.

This set up should give me much better lap times vs my conti 5p 255/35/19 285/30/19, right?

Sorry. Buy two rear A7s and put 275s on there and use 275s on the back. Try R888s. I like the NT01s better but you're right about the sizes.

I work for a wheel company and we put 275s up front all of the time. It is very dependent on offset. I don't know the A7 wheel but a 10" ET 25 wheel with R888s is a direct fit with a 275 on your car with the stock suspension and no fender rolling.

If the A7s are inexpensive or you can get them used the rears could be very inexpensive. Your car would be so much better on the track.
