Sidewall size/tire shape between these 3 choices.

Basically, our of these 3 tires in a 265/35/18 setup, which is most likely to rub, and which is least likely:

NT05s
RE-11s
AD08s

Thanks

What is the width and offset of the front wheels? Odds are that is where you'll have the problem.

Are you using this for the front or rear? The stock rear is 265/40/18, not 35, so I am assuming you would be using this for the front? If this is for the rear the NT05 won't rub because I have the 275/35/19 rears which don't rub.

Yeah sorry, forgot to mention this would be for fronts. Wheels would probably be 18x9.5 ET 22 or 23.

I don't think the AD08s are a problem as they have been done before, but I prefer the other 2 tires more.

Thanks

I am running the NT05's 275/35 18 on a 18x10 & at full tread depth they were just touching the rear fender liner on the passenger side.My Ra's & 888's did not rub so I guess the NT05 is a larger tire than those others.I would think you should be OK with a 265 on 9.5 wheel with 23p offset.

I would be staying away from the AD08's as a few people have had chunking issues at the track with them.
