I put everything back together and tightened by hand for now. Torquing down tomorrow. I think I read that the Sway bars need to be torqued with all 4 wheels on the ground, can anybody confirm?

great!! Sorry, no help on torque Q

I have never torqued the sway bars under load and I have swapped out at least 17 sets over the years with no issues.

Yes. Danegrey has 305s on his. I asked the same thing. They fit!

kenchan · 05-21-2013, 09:27 PM

wow 305's... pss is softer sidewall, you sure you want to go that wide? im sure they 'fit' but fitting and fitting correctly is kinda different.

on my 10.5" wheel (sport 19's are 10" width) i dont plan on going wider than 285.

we'll see. Hubby liked them and i'll talk to danegrey before i jump to see how he likes them. His were new a week ago.

I appreciate your opinions though. Never hurts to hear different views!

Plus they looked really good!

You could easily do 295 Ken and still be within the suggested parameters.

kenchan · 05-21-2013, 09:31 PM

305/30 is 91.5mm sidewall (kinda short)
305/35 is 106.8mm sidewall (tall big time)

your sport
275/35 is 96.3mm sidewall

my nismo
285/35 is 99.8mm sidewall
