I think to qualify for that category you must be 100% stock down to the filter, but mike or one of the drag mods can clarify that

You should just focus on getting 13's for now

Yeah I guess..it'd be nice to get on the list, though...

But seriously..same quality tires (not better or a lot worse), are less than half the price of the OEM on Tire Rack.

Shin you are obviously missing the point on the tires. No DE Z in the year 2011 will qualify for that list because of the age or replacement of the rubber.

Zain-I hope you are thinking what Im thinking for Shin's shot!!!!!

Or not, since apparently they don't come in the required size for my rear.

350ZTech says 235/50/17 is the size of the rears.
But the biggest the V12's come in is 235/45/17.

Can I still use them, or do I have to go with a different tire?

I'd have to look, but I believe it is the smaller of the sizes (235/45/17)

Needs to be less talk about running 13s and more just doing.

Reminds me of a kid that keeps talking about how hes going to beat you up and keeps getting up in your face, then when you say, "man, would you just swing already......" He says, "forget this, you're not worth my time." Then walks away.

Besides, what happens if you don't run 13s? You have like 5 threads going with the 13s statement in it. Are you going to run the car into a tree or trade it for a Honda?
