Hi Guy's, anybody here has a pic of that set up on a Boss, I am currently on a square 275-40-18 and thinking about a 275-35-18 but wondering if there is going to be too much of a gap around the fender. Thanks
Stephan :)
 
I run 285/35/18's all around and the rear gap is pretty big. It does look funny when standstill, but looks pretty good when the rear end is loaded at corner exit :p
So, since a 275/35 would have a shorter sidewall, the gap would be a little bigger.

Dump the NT05's and get the 285/35/18 Hankook RS-3's V2 or 295/35/18 Rivals if your wheels are wide enough. Wider is better on our cars and the Hankook's are probably a stickier tire. It really doesn't matter what it looks like at the track. Do you still have your stock wheels for the street? Mine on 265F and 285R Hankook's with P springs.

Thanks for the pics, NFS Boss I am running BBS 18x10 wheel. I think I will go with 285 or 295 35 -18 square set up. :)

I really liked the 305/35-18 Nittos NT555 II extremes compared to 275/35-19 Dunlops DZ2's. Really worth getting as much rubber as you can and the 305's fit fine with a small spacer on a stock suspension.
