thanks Eric i had never even considered the Nitto's just thought i'd ask when i looked at their R offering -

I was going to get replacement RE11's but i thought wtf - might as well get an R -

haha ola skrilla - i like 295's on the 11inch wheel but yeah 40's are tall yo' - 30/35 series is better -

Tires haha i'm so glad there is only one brand - General -

I just had black bear wrapped in bacon for dinner. A little chewy, but very good.

I just had a really good sirloin, but I think your bear trumps my cow.

Chris - it all depends on veins inside the rotor - you can go either way since yours are straight. If they were directional - you would have had to put them on the "right way"..

Mike and Fith sup guys, so the rears are the 35 aspect ratio after all, the 40's turn out to be way to tall

Does anybody have extra VLSD, for my base they can part with

Yeah, tons of fun... lol. I'll be replacing the plugs and applying a new gasket on my plenum spacer while everything is apart as well. That way, I don't have to do the same work later.

Skrilla, I have for my DD set of tires 245/40/18 and 275/40/18......Although I don't quite sit down as low as some off these guys.

I actually like the 40 series better for DD on the roads...a little bit nicer ride than the 35's.

My track wheels are 265/35/18 and 285/35/18 but much more noticeable wheel gap when they are on vs. my DD'ers.

---------

Q, you G looks great sitting down where she should be at.....nice job ! When you gonna get some Rims ? ...... Or you should just paint those black or plasti-dip them !

-----------

I had a blast at the Charity AutoX at TMS yesterday.....Cesar ( aka boltup89 ) showed up and caught a ride with me. It was good to see you Cesar !

I have a vid I will post up as soon as I can.....and I was right ! I Didn't DNF on my last run of the morning...I watched my video and it clearly shows me NOT DNF'ng for my fastest time of the morning.

Here are a few images from the C&C on Sat...I went up there really quick and only took a few pics.

Very clean, VERY clean, yup those are my sizes, I could go 40's all around and be even but I like the 35 which will allow more clearance with the wider rims

I agree about the 40s although its a ratio and not a size it actually sits with about the same amount of sidewall, but these side walls are no joke anyway and thats what I will mostly feel on bumpy surfaces

fith - i missed ya i guess at c & c -

Skrilla - I would like to help you mo' fasta' but i would have to research and tear it apart because honestly i don't know what it is - then when i find out i'd have to decide monies - and it might actually be good for me to keep a spare since i'm running a quaife right now - so i might need to re-consider

fail post -
