Just saying hello again after a long absence

wow. just..... wow.

fast cars are nice, and i've learned they're also expensive to upkeep (not to mention the really expensive things like blown motors and trannys). heck... new tires on my car will be a minimum of $1k.... they're staggered, and need to be low profile/performance. so, i need to make sure i don't.... 'play' too often. and i can't even imagine the damage another added 200hp could do to them! they'd dissolve! lol.

Yea, I hear ya. I'm running 17" Torque Thrust M's with 315s out back and 275s up front (17x9 up front and 17x10.5 out back). Luckily Sumitomo makes 315s for $100 a piece. There no high performance tire, but at half the cost, I can deal. I just got the TTM's a few months ago, but when I get the rest of the car like I want it, I think I'm gonna go with 19's up front and 20's in the back with probably 315's on 19x10.5s up front and 345's on 20x12.5s out back. Not sure yet.

nice. 20's in the back, 'eh? will mixed sizes mess with the accuracy of the spedo? i love big wheels on performance cars. they lose performance (compared to smaller ones), but the just look mean.

my current stock 17" setup is getting replaced next year with 19's - 19X9.5 Front (265/35/19) and 19X10.5 Rear (285/35/19). that way i won't have to roll my fenders or get adjustable camber links (even with new coilovers to drop it a bit).

do you drag with that beast?? 315's in the back... wow. heh.
