Went out with the GoPro to test out my widened OEM wheels with Nitto NT05R 315/35/20s. Figured some of you would want to know how they do.
Mods: JLT CAI, SCJ Mono Blade Throttle Body, Lethal O/R X-pipe, 3.73 Gears, Lund 93 Tune.
Temp was lower than I was wanting, in the low 50s, but I was eager to test how the nittos would hold up. The video was originally meant to be a run against my wifes 2011 Roush, but she missed a shift lol. My wife and I went out later that night with her driving and she killed 5 people, all from a dig, all over before she even hit 2nd! Love the look on peoples faces when they get their egos crushed by a girl. But this isn't a road kill story.
The widened PP Wheels are widened by Weldcraft to 11", the only mod I did to get them to fit was a 5/16" wheel spacer. I even got four full sized adults and drove down a bumpy road to check for any scraping. Have also done some hard cornering with no scraping.
The Nitto NT05Rs actually are doing way better than I had hoped. Even with mods and gears they can stand up to pretty much anything, even in the cooler weather right now. By that evening the temps had dropped into the 40s and they still held up, no actual hard launches though.
Heres the vid, was a 60 to 150ish roll. Was still truamatized from driving on stock tires. I started in 3rd, went right to WoT, let off gas during shifts but went WoT right after.
