Default **NT05R 345/30/19 mounted on 19X11 Wheel Pic***

Just wanted to share some info if anyone is thinking about going with some sticky stream rollers out back! They were mounted this morning and only have one pic until I can stop by my shop to take more pics.

I had 325/30/19 Invos on my car last year with no L5 fenders or mini tub, just an 1/8 spacer. This worked out very well with no rubbing. I am going to try and see if a 1/4 spacer will be enough to avoid any rubbing, Otherwise a mini tub will be done.

The 345s are about 1/2 wider than my 325s so it will be a close fit, but they are going on no matter what I have to do!

Clown, those will help a ton on the car for sure. Just hope you dont have to tub the car, from cost point for you but I dont think I would do much of a spacer with what power you will be going to for sure. I have a kit coming to me now going to put the battery back in the back of the car for some weight tranf.Robert

Those look good on the 11" rims. I might go that direction with my car in the future, I really need more traction....

I guess it's just me, but that wide of a tire doesn't look right scrunched onto such a narrow wheel.

I would like to see pics of your 345 NT05Rs? I am shocked that they don't rub or stick out!

My car is getting close to being done, couple more weeks!

If I can't hook up with these bad boys, I guess I will just have to drive around on slicks!

It's not just you. Wheel needs another inch of width to pull off the look IMO.
