Some time this year I'll be replacing my tires with Kumho ECSTA VA700's. Planning on 235/40R17 in front and 275/40R17 in the rear. Since this will probably result in some rubbing problems I'll be rolling my fenders for more room. Instead of using the baseball bat method, I'm thinking of buying a fender roller tool. This is the one I'll probably get:

If anyone else in the NTS2K club is interested in using it, I'll be lending it out for free. You got to be a club member though. Let me know if you are interested.

 

How many times are you using it? You can rent those out for like 30 bucks if you dont plan on using it too often. My friend rented one and what we did was have a little gathering and we all chipped in for the rental. Just giving you some ideas.

 

I'll use it on my car, let anyone else who wants use it, and then sell it. Probably come out about the same as renting. Selling on ebay, I might even make some money.

 

I am definately interested, I put some 245's on the rear and its not sounding so good.

 

I've al;ways put the 245/45 on the rear without any problems. You are correct about the tire rack thing.

 

YEAH!!!!

 

Maybe they're 255's Either way I started noticing a noise after putting on the new rims/tires. Were my exhaust not so loud I would noticed it sooner than a week afterwards.

 

I run 255 race tires on the rear with zero issues. Fred, I understand that some people even run 275s w/o issue. David, for example I think. With a properly secified wheel, you should be fine.

 

Maybe it's just a noisier tire?

 

Fred once you get it I would love to use it, especially if you've used it first and know what you are doing
