A052 295/30/18

PrimeBMW · 12-23-2021, 09:12 AM

Is Bartledoo the only one running Yokohama AO52 295/30/18 square or are other people having success without the fender liners getting ripped out?
For reference this is my back up track/occasional street car with MCS singles. Otherwise basically stock.

Not sure how wide those run but I run 295/30/18 Hoosier R7s without any issues

What wheel width and offset?

I've been running 275/35/18 R7/A7 with a 10" wide wheel et 25. I'd like to get away from hauling an extra set of wheels/tires to the track.

DRLane · 12-23-2021, 09:29 AM

Me too - Fronts: 295/30/18 R7 on EC7 11" et 44 with 25mm spacer.

I've run them on 10" EC7 as well with no spacer. No issues there.

This gives me a little more confidence that it will work. I currently get rubbing on the fender liners at full lock with the 275/35/18 Hoosier

k_mann · 12-23-2021, 09:45 AM

Do you have to lose the helper and run a 5" spring for this width?

5" with helper - Spring perch isn't much of an issue.

18x10.5+25 with a 5mm spacer to clear my suspension (5" Hyperco spring on KW Clubsports, helper spring removed)

I did notch and hammer flat the welded seam in the back of the fender

I was leaning towards the Titan7 and believe it is 10.5 et 25???

Probably should've noted, I do have fender wear on the rear liner. I have no idea which set of tires caused this over the years. Not necessarily attributing to the R7s but maybe it's accommodating them to run freely?

Ha ha! Yes mine have holes in them too. I just don't want them to be completely removed one way or another!

Ha. Looks worse than it is due to angle. But I do trim the rubber trim protectors of the tires too get an extra 2mm.

That is what I have on my car right now, running without liners now but I have run them with fender liners as well

kyippee · 12-24-2021, 09:58 AM

I have run it. 18x10.5 ET22 and A052 295/30/18. 5" front and 7" rear springs with JRZ RS One, helper springs, and rear weight jacks.

Rubs front fender liners a bit. I had a bit too much caster.

I prefer maxxis RC1 275/35/18

PrimeBMW · 12-24-2021, 10:00 AM

Did anyone have to roll the rear fenders?

slcook54 · 12-24-2021, 10:04 AM

Can you run a 295/30 on a 18x10 titan wheel up front, or need a wider rim? Don't want to run spacers.

Happy running 275/35 now with Ohlins Track Day kit, but wouldn't mind that as an option down the road.

berns · 12-24-2021, 10:33 AM

295/30 a052 on 18x10.5 fits pretty easily.
Short sidewall is more forgiving

Kelse92 · 12-24-2021, 11:01 AM

I had intentions before selling my car of 295f/315r staggered on 18x11. It would have fit, but fender liners would have been pretty rubbed through I’m guessing (and already were from other aggressive fitments like 275/40/18). But I think on a 10.5” wheel with the right offsets running the 295 square should be much better and not much issue.

I wouldn't - I would want a 10.5 or wider to support it. +1 to the fender liner comments. An existing tiny fender liner hole grew when I ran 295/30/18 A052 on 18x10.5 ET22

berns · 12-24-2021, 03:21 PM

295/30 A052 on Titan7 18x10.5 +25
Need about 3-5mm spacer up front for inboard clearance at this offset.

Our rears are flat from the factory. Nothing to roll.
