That was a good night, I remember saying that completely wasted by that point. We gotta do that again-that game sure was fun...

305 is as high as I can go with a +22 offset. Only thing is I hate the tires offered in that size...

Go with 18's. I just sold my 19s to go with 18s.

Definately worth it with the choice of tires..

Like Zexy said, time to get rid of the Volks and go with, well, smaller Volks.

I love the Limited Edition Volks. Not being able to race under 60mph will keep me out of trouble more-HA. I need to redo my rear alignment Im sure it will help 2nd considerably-then we'll see where I really stand. Curently at -1.9/1.8 camber in the rear

Id expect some of traction in 2nd to be restored with a set-up like that. Wouldnt be worth it to me to only regain a little in 3rd...what kind of rear camber do you run?

Oh well...enjoy not having any traction in your first three gears....

Just wait...you'll lose to some toolbag 16 year old in his bolt-on evo out of a light because you can't hook on your bling bling 19s and then mabye you'll change your tune.

Brian-I cant even remember when I last raced on the street from a dig, it rarely happens in my area, and I simply dont *** around like I used to. I truly believe better camber, and a wider tire will be sufficient for my needs. I also enjoy handling to much, and while DR's are way better around corners than bias ply slicks, they still suck donkey d!ck compared to good tires. Good overall street car > 1/4 car...

Pulling out negative camber and running 19inch wheels with a massive front/rear stagger isn't great for handling either...but I digress....
