There is no function with the 10.5 +15 offset up front unless you have a widebody.

True, I guess if I went that route I would have an autobody shop, cut and re-weld more fender on all four corners. Kinda what GreenGoblin did on his G.

Would feel more nimble with 9.5's up front. What size front tire are you running with a 10.5 +15 up front?

Ya, i would have gone 9.5's, all you did is add extra rotating mass with 10.5's. At least run a 285 on them, of wait, they are crappy offsets for the front of the car.

Does it upset you that my car isn't the way YOU want it to be?
1. I dont care what YOU would have done.
2. I like it the way it is.
3. Its my car.

Terra... I'm not sure if you've tried out a 285 on an 18x10.5 +15 front, but I gotta tell
you that it definitely waxes a 9.5" in many scenarios. I've run both and am loving the
10.5" - @ triple digit speeds the car is RAILED. Input is lovely at both low and high speed
and I feel the least under/oversteer I've ever felt out of my car.

Not saying it's for everyone, but let take my car for a spin and I'll make you a believer.

nt-05s in the rain? any tire in the rain?

our cars are not great in the wet. michellin ps2's have yielded the best in the wet so far for me. nitto invo's were a very close second. nt-05's not so much.
