Unfortunately, they won't fit on stock wheels. 255 front tire requires a minimim of 8.5" wide wheels and 295 rear tires require a min. of 10" wheels.

They are very good tires for the track with longevity. I do not see why they won't fit onto the RS98s as long as they are 8.5"/10".

Excellent track tires - however I believe the rears are actually 295/30-18, not 295/35, so they are a bit shorter than OEM - the diameters of the 255/35 and 295/30 are both 25.1" according to the Toyo spec sheet.

Arrrghh! If you had posted this earlier, I would have taken them! On this past Saturday, I went to Radial Tire and bought a new set of R888s in virtually those sizes (255/35 and 295/30).

Are you sure about the size of the rear tires? According to Toyo, they make 295/30/18, but not 35. Both Paul and I looked for the 295/35, since it would have matched the front 255/35s perfectly.

Also, why are you selling them? Did you not like them, or are you going to Hoosiers or something better?

If you still have them in a couple of months, once my bank account has recovered a bit, I may get them from you as spares/replacements.

Yes, you are absolutely right, the rears are 295/30, I made a typo, thanks for catching it.

I am sorry Bill, you are right, I should have thought about it earlier. I am not sure if my price offers much in the way of savings frankly, but if it is significant for you (and I can discount it for you Bill), Paul might be willing to take your's back since they are unused; I'll be getting new tires from him and I know him well, I am sure he'll help us out. If you want to do this, let me know (I'll send you my cell #) and I'll call Paul.

Frankly, these are supposed to be very good tires. I just don't like using expensive r-comps, especially with less than ideal stock suspension with r-comps. I want to get back onto street tires, cheap ones, and not worry about my tire costs.
