No spacers, stock alignement, M2C (should have less clearance than an M2 due to the brake ducts).
265/35/18 and 285/35/18, the dia is 1 cm less than stock but reduced by the same amount front to rear (ie it does not muck up the rake).
Fronts are close to the strut but I can still get my fingers inbetween.
The NS2R is much squarer than the stock star PSS (even the wider M3/4 one)
Off the top of my head the star spec PSSs are 20mm narrower at the tread than the indicated value, ie a 255 is acctually 235mm wide at the tread.
The NS2R is 10mm less at the tread but very square (its like the tread has just been given a 5mm radius).
They sit pretty much flush with the plane of the arches. If you want pics I might take some tomorrow when it light out again. |
How are you liking the 265 tire on a 9" wheel, especially given that the NS-2R run a bit wider than some of the other tires? Does the steering still feel as responsive as stock? I've read that with a 265 tire on a 9" wheel, the steering feel/responsiveness could be negatively impacted due to increased sidewall flex.
I'm thinking of going Hankook RS4 in either the same 265/285 on a 9/10 wheel, but Tire Rack is showing that they have an even wider contact patch than your NS-2Rs. Backup would be 245/40 and 265/40 RS4s.
