Re: rim and tire question

about to check tire rack now, i browsed through them last night real fast. I saw the cooper tires, but the ones i saw looked like slicks almost.

Re: rim and tire question

discounttiresdirect has good prices on tires, but haven't compared them to tirerack to know if they're cheaper. Tirerack does make it easy to select some rims/tires though.

Re: rim and tire question

Believe it or not if you're lowered already its gonna get really bad with the 13s... My exhaust manifold was so close to the ground with 13 inch rims/tires

I run 14s on the street cause I also like smaller rims, but at autox it has more sidewall flex than I'd like. Might move to 15s eventually

So if we do all go at once, ill bring my hatch and the del sol. All i need to finish the turbo hatch is oil lines and a tial 38mm wastegate. I showed chris a bunch of my turbo ----.

Re: rim and tire question

Stretch these ******* on them. I loved them on my VX rims I had. New their outrageous for even a 13" tire. I picked up it's brother the A032 from a guy for 100 for a whole set but in 16's for the Z.
