275 Nitto or 285 GSD3
Hey all, I can't decide which way to go. I'm ordering:
17x8 Street Lites for the front.
17x9.5 Street Lites for the rear. (I don't like 17x11" wheels on a Camaro without a narrowed rear/mini-tub- personal preference)
I'm going to run a 245/45/17 tire on the front wheels to save weight and I don't road race so I see no need for the 275/9.5" wheel on the front.
Eventually I plan on also getting a set of 15x10 Street Lites for the rear + 275/50/15 Hoosier DRs; but I can't afford it all right now.
Questions:
1) How will the 285 GSD3s "hook" vs the 275 Nittos. If there is not that much of a difference I might as well just run the GSD3s all the way around until I can afford the 15" wheels and Hoosiers. They'll last longer and handle better at high speeds vs the Nitto (plus look alot wider! )
2) Will the 275 Nitto look silly on a 9.5" wheel (I know they run narrow).
Just a 95% street (weekend only)/ 5% track...
If anybody has pictures of a 275 nitto on a 9.5" wheel i'd love to see it.
Here's a 285 GSD3 on a 9" wheel.
