Got a set of nankang ns2r for track use in 225/45 size.
I see is one person on here running that combo. Anyone else?
Opinions? Too big? Does this make it flexy etc or ok to do?

[shaRRpy]

I've never run that size myself but I would say it's not ideal and you would get a bit of roll.there is a guy on here running that size I think his user name is 1812s he's got a cosmic ep3.

Aye ive sent him a pm to see what he says

[shaRRpy]

alot of people are going for these ns2r I hear nothing but good reviews.a good price too.
Iirc I'm sure he said that size felt fine.i think they do them in a 215.

I run them in 215, no reason why you couldn't run the 225 on the OEM 7J wheel.
I would be more inclined to go for a 40 profile on a 225, I use the 45 and don't quite get the steering sharpness and response I would like.

[shaRRpy]

The reasoning behind them not being ideal for maximum handling is there isn't enough wheel to support the width of the tyre hence you would get more flex in the tyre.

Cheers guys

Reason is i currently have 225/45 on some 8j evo eniki wheels. But i am going to have to remove/roll alot of my arch to get them to fit.
If they work well on an oem wheel that would save me alot of bother and i can make some money back by selling the evo wheels.
But on the flip if it wont drive right il work on using these or sell the lot and buy some 215s
