I have had some cars that require a bullet train behind to get bump start.

I guess I can take that as a compliment. You wouldn't be talking so much trash if it was so easy to kick my ***.... or am I reaching here?
If we do this, we should make it more interesting... we can swap cars and see if you can beat me with my 100 run tires. Or maybe I need to just bite the bullet and get a new set.

I may be interested in selling my set soon. They have 12 runs on them at this point.

yeah close!
I do remember though when I baught my 225's and my 245's and se tthem next to each other the 245's were WAY taller. then after I mounted them on the stock wheels (245's) they were no longer MUCH taller. they were very close to the same size once shrunk down on the wheel.
meaning if I were to dismount the 245's and stack them against the 285's it would not be SOOO drastic.
now the 285's will be shrunk down to fit the 9.5 right? I think they better fit a 10" wheel (i know i'ts only a 1/2 inch)

You should test fit one of your wheels, front and rear, before you get the tires put on. You want to triple check that the offset and bolt pattern are right before they get tires on them and they cant be sent back. Just a good idea with any custom order wheel.

good idea. I will even try to have them mount one tire if all seems ok and try the same thing to make sure everything fits while under a load. I am mostly worried about the car being so low.

here is the differance between the 225's and the 245's unmounted (both)
again the 245's were MUCH smaller once put on the wheels. they were just barely taller then the 225's when mounted on the stock 8" wheel.

WOOT WOOT!!!
looks like they are only doing ONE championship day on the weekend of our wedding. it WAS Aug 12th and 13th.
the crappy thing is they got rid of the Sunday and kept the Saturday... I wish they would have done it the other way and kept the Sunday. this would at least give us a day break after the wedding.
