Would any of you also order tires from fastwheels.ca? Looking to get my EV01’s now that I’ve budgeted for them ($20K in assorted taxes going out end of month alongside of this) but also debating on the Titan7 TS5.
How are 225/50/18?

if you’re not in Canada, fastwheels recommended not ordering tires from them due to really high duty fees at the border. I just got my wheels delivered today and have an appointment at America’s tire to have tires put on them and mount them on my performance model 3

I just ordered some 18x8.5 ET35 Hypergrams to use for Autocross. Going to run 255/40/18 RE71R on them. I saw @destructure00 was able to fit 18x9.5 so I am assuming 8.5 should be no problem.

After flip flopping a few times I decided I will order a set of 18x8.5 MW03 (If I had a regular AWD I’d even go 7.5) and determine what rubber I’ll put on once they arrive but at just under 18#/corner should be helpful.
It’s a great choice, getting mine ceramic coated tomorrow and then mounted this weekend in 7.5” JASONLEON should take $ off of your order price.

Plan is to wrap them in PS4S 225 width. Lowest package weight possible tire+wheel for drag racing purposes, mainly like to have fun on the 1/8. Plus side is that assuming I don’t like the way 225/45 tires handle then I’ll wrap them in dedicated snow tires where the narrow width will help more.

Yes, 235/45 is stock. I only expect any real difference in the 0-60 maybe as anything above that will not change.

Quoted at 18 but I think the 18x9.5’s showed at 18 and these are an inch narrower. I’ll grab the scale tomorrow

So fooling around on diameters I found that 215/50/18 is just as tall as our 235/35/20. Could we really lose that much more grip going to this tire size? I ask because MW03 are available in 18x7.5..
The ultimate goal is to keep the speedometer/revm as close as possible to stock while still being grippy.
225/50 is possible too but just a bit tall..
Edit: looks like there’s a way bigger selection on 225/50. This just might work.

Dragstrips start opening up next month in the PNW so unless someone beats me to it, I'll post info on 225/45 PS4S

Wheel width? Those tires look just the slightest bit stretched.
