let's see one of you guys bring your car down for Nisei on August 15th. Mazda class should be pretty easy this year considering Bruce isn't showing his FD.

higher profile tire = heavier/less responsive

+1 or 2 lbs doesn't really make that much of a different!!!

It makes more of a difference then you think, and that weight adds up X4s.

But all in all the idea of an agressive wheel setup usually isn't about performance. A couple of us are running on performance tires on race size wheels 17s and 18s (pushin it) but all in all its more of a look than anything.

A lot of these guys have tires and wheel setups that meet the qualifications to be considered agressive but their cars lack the stance or the drop to achieve an actually agressive look. If your fenders aren't at least rolled then you probabaly arent agressive enough. A lot of these cars look like off road vehicles, hell I was there at one point too.
