i have 255/35 on the stock 2013 8.5 In front wheels. They don’t even bubble. Looks like a perfect fit. Rides well. I may try to sneak some 285/35 Mickey Thompsons on the rear next drag season

your running 22 offset 9.5 with 285s, lowered correct? Did you say that required no fender mods?

.correct, I rubbed rarely on hard dips on the freeway but now I have my fenders rolled with no rubbing at all on the front or rear.
Mom sure you can do a 285/35 on a stick wheel offset I wanted 285/35 but my wheels are to low of an offset

Looks great Hurtado! I'll be running stock wheels with stock offset so I'm sure I won't have any clearance issues for 255/35 and 285/30. Big upgrade from my current 225/40 and 245/35 set up.

Just a bit of feedback on the tire since I'm sure this thread will get some attention. On the street, and mountain runs, it's a fantastic tire. I was racing the Motovicity Speedring this weekend at the M1 concourse, and the Firehawks were 100% the wrong choice of tire. I would only get about one lap of ok traction before they became very slick. Made it into the touge bracket, and went out first round from a aggressive tire pressure setting trying to make up for it! On the street, I love the tire, I don't know of one that comes close to performance for dollar. On the track, find something else!
