mt 295 or 315 nitto, see pic's

[Flad]

I just installed some MT 295 45 17, on a stock height, 10.5 AFS Let me know if it looks better then the before pic which is a 315 nitto.

I think it fills the well a little more

Edit: Definitely looks way better. Slammed it'll look sweet.

the 295 ET Street II is a good tire, car Must be hooking on the street better now?

deff fills the gap better, however that car still needs around a 1" drop all around imo. how do you like the traction difference? also i'm assuming the 295 is prolly just as wide as the old 315 huh?

I like the 295's but you need to lower that thing.

For sure, last night it was in the low 70, with the nittos from a role when I mashed the gas in 1st it would spin.
I couldn't spin the MT's under the same condition.

Keep in mind intake and exhaust car

That's what I was trying to avoid.....lowering, it is on this list to do.

It's a little narrower then the 315. I could easily stuff another 1" worth of width under there, but there's not much available in a 45.

295 looks better at that height, and hooks much better as u know.

I could be mistaken but by increasing you tire height from 25.6 stock to 27.4 you effectively you reduce your 3.55 gearing to something less than 3.31.

In addition to a sticker tire, the taller effective gear could also contribute to the lack of wheel spin in low gears. Again just a guess.

They look good!

all true. I run a 315/35/18 26.3" tire and it hooks MUCH better than a 315/30/18, for both the reasons you listed plus the fact the unsprung weight goes up due to the heavier tire/larger sidewall. when the tires are new and temps are above 70....it controls 650rwtq much better than one would think.

I didn't consider that, but you maybe right.

Also would it affect the ABS, I noticed that when hard breaking with the TC off the abs kicked in....funny i just don't recall that ever happening, or I'm loosing my mind

Great point, which is also why many people go to a 3.73 or 4.10 when going to a taller rear tire.
