because tirerack swears they will rub

 

w00t! I think each state gets their own coupon: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/californiaCoupon.dos

the ssr site says the spoke is designed to clear bbk. if your still in doubt grab a high offset and use a spacer.

 

i have no doubts it will clear bbk, i have doubs on rubbing against the fender.......... 8.5 on +35 is on the risky side

 

that's what I run.

If you're afraid of them rubbing the fender then just add some camber... or you could raise it up a bit, god forbid...

 

Just ordered a replacement set of 235/40 18s Goodyear F1s GS-D3s....the coupon helped a little...

 

those sized tires are real expensive to begin with...as well as the brand and model...the coupon will do very little to help

 

you run that on z32's ??? is it close to the fender???

i have +40 on 8" right now with 245's and there is still a bit room, i dont think it will be that much different......

It's pretty much flush with the fender. The pictures may be a bit misleading since I'm higher than you--as you lower further the LCAs/struts will tuck in further. I've never had any rubbing issues and I've almost bottomed out the struts I had on at the time, mashing the LTBII against the ground. No rubbing.

 

so with my drop, you think i will be fine with the SSR's ? 17x8.5 +35 on 235/45

 

You will probably be okay. I haven't run into any rubbing problems, ever.

In the minute chance that you do have problems, you could always just be a man and run mad tyte camber, or raise it up a bit and give your axles a break.

 

My $124 set of snow tires seems to be waiting for me on my doorstep at home...woohoo!

 

My mom's steelies+tires set shows delivered today

Ordered a set of tires my sister's Altima on Saturday - those will probably come in a week or two

 

I ordered my set on thursday...no confirmation e-mail saying it's been shipped....only an e-mail saying "Thank you for taking advantage of our low prices and special sale! The response has been beyond our wildest expectations! We promise to process and ship your order just as soon as possible, so be on the look-out for our confirmation email with your tracking numbers."

Hopefully they will ship soon....

 

ordered myself a set of staggered kumho spt at local America's Tires with the cheaper online price + $100 rebate + tax though =/ Still good! cant wait to try them out. guy told me its gonna take kumho 3-5 business days to ship from fullerton to pasadena lol

 

BTW, $100 store rebate ends 10/27 which is Saturday, BUT some tires, like kumho, last day to place order is Friday. Better hurry because not even tirerack can match this nor can my local shady tireshop that cheat tax! They also come with limited warranty if mounted @ their store $12/ea free valve stem and lifetime balance+rotation AND free repair iirc.

 

I'm blown away with my SPT by the longivity. It's been almost a year, and close to 20k miles, I still have 5/32 left. This's the longest lasting performance tire I've ever used.

1 thing to note is that it doesn't like "high" psi. I gotta keep it close to 30psi. 35psi feels like there's no tread left.

I can't say I'm happy with America's Tires. The only thing I like is the free rotations and balance. However they messed up 1 of my wheels, static balanced 2x, failed to inspect my spare. I need to try another location, maybe it's just this one at Puente Hills Mall.
