Nitto NT555R 275/40/20 up front only I bet will work wonders.  I am considering this idea myself.  Only using them as front tires.

Can a 275/40/20 fit on stock wheels? I know its probably searchable... just being lazy..

Yes but with draw backs. I have them on my 2015 with 20". You are putting a 9" wide tire on an 8" rim. The way I looked at it was that is a 1/2" each way. Not too much right?

They work. Not perfectly but they work well. They are just air pressure sensitive. Too much they feel like they are rolling (Hard Hard cornering) since they are pinched not stretched. I run 30 psi DD and they run great. Was just a slight learning curve.

Anyway. The tires I got with a few others here were only $95 shipped from Amazon. They are $185 now.

Yup that is what I bought as well when I think you posted the sale link.
About the same time I bought a set of VOXX Lago wheels: 20X9.5 5x114.3/5x120 offset35
I paid $675 shipped for a set of 4 wheels, they have gone up since then but still on ebay:

I love these tires, I have not had the inflation sensitivity Mac noticed.  I will be honest I have not even checked air pressure on them in a few months as I have not had any change in handling/performance to cause concern and they have not been visibly sagging.  I have not tracked/launched them, but they give me all the grip I need so far.

SBS- Given what you are after and the limits you are pushing I honestly think it would be a bit of a waste to put 275's on stock wheels, it will deform the tire and you will not get the full performance possible from the tire.  You just will not get getting the full value from the tire upgrade to make it worth getting a better tire than what you have waiting already?

I agree 100% with lamrith. 275/40/20 - 9.5 (+40 or less) on all 4 corners is the way to go with the hi/po direction you're going with your sho. Loved them especially in the Twisties.

I have a 265/40/20 on my flower wheels. Been on for 15k miles no problem. And as 802 can tell you and my videos show I can still spin those b*tches like they are pizza cutters.

Thanks Brad! Turbos going in a few weeks... 11's are there now but the turbos should get me consistently in the 11's... even with my piss poor driving lol.

I agree, with your new tires on you should achieve your desired 60 ft and downpipes will give you that edge over into an 11.  This is an all time new personal best for you as well correct?  Very impressive!

Yup! New PB for me, Thanks! Tires are waiting for me when I want to put them on lol... probably after the turbos and downpipes.

Those tires look awfully familiar, hope they get you some good 1/4 miles

Me too! I am now on the fence about reselling them and getting Nittos... lol. I think I might need a stickier tire.

Last I heard, as of a few days ago, all IC's on hand have been sold.

I do believe another batch is in production though.

So an email request is appropriate. If anything, just to get on the list for the next round(s).

Placing deposits on same are helpful.

Oooo... What's the email address to contact them at?  Things at home are looking pretty grim, so I may need an intercooler to cheer me up.
