Do y'all think a 265/45-16 would be too wide for the AP1 wheels? Or should I just stick with the 255/50-16??

 

Just stick with proven results. I can hook 700whp+ from 60-160 on MT 255/50/16 with no problems. Heck even kings performance used the same setup to run 9's on their car.

 

Thanks man!! That is what I needed to know. I have really just been worried that a 255 wouldn't hook.

Edit: Is it ok if I use my 225/50-16 that I have on the rear now in the front??

 

Anyone using Toyo Proxes R888?? They look really nice and seem like they would grip well.

 

When star specs get below half all they do is spin ask me how I know Im going to get nt01 when this set is finished.

 

I am in the same situation like you looking for tires. I have Toyo Proxes R888 now, they grip excellent especially when they are worm but they are very expensive (at least in Greece) and they do not last long at all Check also the Yokohamas A048

 

I have NT01's and I love them, much better than the Star Specs and better traction in a variety of temperature ranges compared to my BFG drag radials. I also find they are holding up pretty well for treadwear. Not as good as my Mickey Thompson's but are as close as you get while maintaining some treadwear and cornering stability.

 

I was making 499whp and I had the MT 255/50-16 ET Street Radial and loved it, tons of traction

 

falken zx 512, 255 up front 275 in back, 100$ street tire thats holding 550hp, cant beat that, obviously thats on the street! dont waste money on anything else

 

im guessing with that size turbo it spools slower/more linear. id be surprised if they held that kinda power on a gt30 sized turbo. they dont spin on second and third gear pulls? or you using boost by speed?
