I drive too much for "real rubber" - I'm assuming you're referring to r-comps?

18x9.5 +22, sorry I forgot to post them. These would be perfect for OEM fenders w/ slight massaging. They look sunk on mine though

I'm starting off with some Hankook Ventus V12 Evos, we'll see what happens from there. Hopefully I'll have my car ready for the track by Jan 9th!

Thanks for the comments guys

I didn't know what you meant actually. When I have the option of what tire, I choose something legit. When I get them for free or they come with wheels, well... beggars can't be choosers

And a couple quick goodbye shots


your my hero! I've always wanted the concave te37 look but 22+ and lower is too low for for me. looks great!

Lookin good tilt! We'll be running the same rim size soon; Ive been going that route for quite some time. I think the 9.5 +22 is a great balance between looks/performance

Yeah I mean auto-x you want the fattest tire possible... so if he's shooting to put 275's on that's awesome. It'll take a lot of camber though but his fenders are flared pretty well. A good compromise would be 255. You could fit 18x9.5 +22 with a 255 tire reasonably well if you have rolled fenders, little pull, and some camber.

Best of all it will be flush
