I have stock suspension and comp wheels 788M, OG M2 (none comp).
I’m about to buy Re71r 305-30-19, I am wondering if they fit on my car without any rubbing??
How’s the traction? Are they any good for Drag racing/ roll racing?

They’ll fit, no issue. But, they should be on a 10.5-11” wide wheel if you’re hitting a road track.

Otherwise, they’re sticky and loud as hell.

Thank you very much, I have a different set of wheels and tires that I can use

What’s the offset on the rear wheels for your other set?

[///MPhatic]

At 12.3" wide, vs the 11.9" wide 295/30 PSS I've seen fitted to stock suspension without rubbing, I think you're **probably** good.

However, these are literally turning tires, meaning they are meant for auto-x and track days, not straight line performance. If you're looking for drag/roll grip I'd look into a drag radial and lower the pressure.

I’ve run this exact tire and several other 295/305/30/19’s on a car lowered 3/4” in the rear.

The wheel offset is key.

Front +29
Rear +40

True, what I was thinking if they are Sticky enough I buy them because I found them for a good deal.

Should be ok on stock suspension.

ET40 with 305/30/19 will probably rub the fender under compression if the car is lowered. I ran ET45 for it to clear on a lowered car.

Good to know. I really appreciate it.
I’m not planning to lower the car for now.

Certainly let us know if you fit them, and take lots of pix!

Altho, I say all this and I’m test fitting 305/35/18 (tiny bit taller than 305/30/19) Toyo RR on 18x10.5 ET40 EC-7R’s tomorrow.

My math and measurements tell me it’ll fit with track camber dialed in (-2.1) on my lowered car, but it’ll be tight even with the fender tabs trimmed.

We’ll see!

Someone else got to them before I did

Just barely tucks in under compression with track camber!

Very nice fitment, close to my old 19” setup but looks much better. If only there was good track rubber in those sizes.

Yeah, I grabbed that pic from Apex out of one of their threads. The forged sprint line wheels $500 off and free shipping group buy is still open. Awfully tempting but I think I would go with 10.5 rears and 295/30-19s.

Agreed...wish we had choices of decent track tires in these sizes. The RT-660 is available in 275/30 and 305/30 though...

[CSBM5]

Corrected my above post about the RT660...it's a 305/30-19 not a 295 that's available.

After looking at the picture it’s a little wider then What I
like, specially having a sticky tires it will pickup lots of rocks to hit the paint in all directions

I will stick with 295 or 285 unless I can’t get find these sizes

Thank you for the picture
