Default Quick question on rt-615

Are the sidewalls of the 615's more blockier than say the fk 451's? And do you think a 265/35 18 would be a lot taller than a 255/35 18. Basically I wanted to try these tires out but they don't offer the 255/35 18 and i have a 18x9 rim with a +57 offset dropped on kg/mm race springs and konis. I am just trying to figure out the rubbing issue. Thanks for the help.

I think the 615's are blockier. Also there contact patch is much wider than most other tires. I think you are going to have issues if you try running the 265 since it would almost be like running a 275 from most other makers.

I think Riley once called the rt615 the antichrist of rubbing lol...
