What rear tire for 18" rears?

[Torchy]

Hi All,

The car is making too much power and I can't hook on anything 20"

Wanting to know what tire you are running on 18x11 rear?

Has anyone ever ran a 325/35-18 MT ET Street R?

MT makes the S/S which is perfect for size, but worried it won't hook. Wanting to hook in the 50-60mph range and up.

ET Street are known for balling up on the street

Are they known for fitting on the back of a 20+ gt500 with an 18x11? lol

MT ET Street R's. 305's work well on the street.
If you really wanna hook, get a MoTeC.

Not a GT500 and I run a 17" not 18" but I have not had any issues hooking up with my Street SS tires, I should be making close to 900rwhp.

I'm running Apex 18 x 11.5 with 305 MT Rs. On the street these tires will sway at high speed. I haven't really tried adjusting the air pressures but I was running 20 psi. I haven't gotten to the strip with these yet to see if they will improve over my stock base wheels with 315 R888s.

After running the 18s on the street for a few weeks I switched back to the 20s, 18s will be for strip.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I figured that'd be the case.

Did you have any rubbing issues?

Hi there. 1300 rwhp here. Using ET 305s no rubbing, fits perfect. Dead hooks at 65 degrees and up. The tire "sway" mentioned is unnoticeable after your first drive. If you want to take turns, run toyos. If you want straight traction go mickeys

For the street, run them at 28 ish PSI. Sway is much less noticeable
