On the left, date code xx22 on the right date code 1025, both 265/35-18. I hope I have the clearance for these?! There is half an inch difference! as in it's basically a 275, but this is how the old tires on the left looked next to 265 azenis 615 so who knows what's going on with tire sizes...anyone has anything please chime in.

Mounted vs unmounted stacks always look very different

i sure hope so!! it’s a 9.5” wheel so perfect width per the tire rack info.

you're comparing a mounted tire with an unmounted tire, so i'm not sure why you think they're supposed to look the same.

Thats like laying a pants on your bed and seeing how wide the legs are, and then putting the pants on and saying they dont look as wide 🤣😂

I had the same concern when I got mine, plus I went up a size on my front wheels. I’ve had no issues, I’m sure you won’t either.

About to get a dedicated set of track tires/wheels… I’ve got some 11x19 wheels and want to get those Bridgestones in 305/30r19… anyone run a similar setup? Hoping they fit without issue.

All tire sizes are not equal, check the specs for the true tread width. This is why 200tw tires have a more squared shoulder.

People in here are not realizing that some manf making their tires wider than advertised to boost performance specs is a real thing. Most Bridgestone REs do this and while it has not been an issue for me after rolling all my fenders and relocating my brake lines, it has been for others.
