Interested to see how those end up fitting. I'm assuming you'll have to pull a little bit in the front, but let me know. I've had my eyes on a set just like that for a while now.

White ones are almost identical, front just has bit of camber. But they do poke out a bit.

Well them look awesome, although looking at the old set in the background they look rather nice as well...

Do not do B. You will hate that. Stay with decent tires.

Cars are looking great above!!

Cheaper in the sense of saving money by switching to 18's. You're right, rice patty tires are a no go in my book...

Don't be too quick to bash cheap tires. I consider Federal 595RS-R tires to be really cheap, and I've not personally driven a car that has better grip. These things are incredible.

Ok yes down to 18's. But yea nankang or any other...

Quinton I bet they are nice and sticky. Try some re71. Basically street slicks. Lateral grip is unheard of for a "200" treadwear.
