Default 235/275s on ASAs?

Anyone run 235/45-17s and 275/40-17s on ASAs? I'm close to trying it to see if it works.....

Are you talking RA-1's (assuming so)? Different tires have different cross widths. eg. BFG KD's are quite narrow in all their sizes. Ultimately it will depend on your offsets and camber.

If they rub, I can put you in touch with a fellow bay area junkie who has a device to roll those fenders

How'd you know, Asura?

I want to run MXs on the street and RA-1s on the track in the above sizes.

I know the RA-1s will fit on the CE28Ns, but I'm worried about the front being that the ASA is 1/2" wider. I'm pretty sure I'll need to roll the fenders a bit....

FYI, the 235's rub on CE28's. The front offset is not perfect for extra rubber. The rear is fine. Looks like it is fender roll time. I need to do mine too.

It won't fit in the wheel well, The other thing is they are about 1" taller than stock.

Placed order yesterday!

Having coilovers I'm not too worried about the wheels being taller. And with a SC I'm not too worried about the taller gearing. I realize it's gonna probably be a pain in the ass, but with Asura's help we'll get it to work. Stay tuned.

225's can occassionally rub in the front on ASA's - I know. I have 255-40 rear with room to spare. 265 would fit, but 275 is crazy.

I wore through the fender guard with 225s....but the fix in the front is easier than in the rear. See link above.
