Not very user friendly....too low can't run the mountains. Its cool if all you do is drive on a tarmac smooth ( no speed bumps lol) pavement, not very use full except to look at?:). No aggressive driving allowed right?.

Recently raised the car up and added new meaty tires all around!

Trying out some Nitto Invos. If they don't work out I'll probably go back to R-S3's.

Bad ass Sifu~! Scott and I should be back there soon...

\\Konig\\ 10-15-2013 03:38 PM

wow i like that meaty fitment sifu! what size tire is that? did ya have to shave off those two clip holes on the rear bumper completely or are they not an issue?

Danmn858 10-15-2013 06:44 PM

I think he shaved those off a while ago when he was lower.

monchie 10-15-2013 07:13 PM

Nice!

Nitto Invo vs Hankook RS-3???

wtf ....

SayNoToPistons 10-15-2013 08:54 PM

Finally Sifu. An RX-8 on here without its tires stretched out the ass to fit some misfitting wheels. Though wonder about the Invo VS RS3 as well...

monchie 10-16-2013 12:09 AM

275/35. I shaved the two clips a few years ago.

I have RS-3's on my 18 inch NT03+m. I wanted to try the Invos on the Volks since they are 19's and will only be seeing highway and city driving. Plus I want to see why my friend with a Vette likes these Nitto Invos :dunno:

Danmn858 10-16-2013 11:25 AM

Awesome shots STL, I follow you on instagram!!

TeamRX8 10-16-2013 01:08 PM

re: Invo vs RS-3

I guess it depends on whether you want max performance or not, which is the only reason to use RS-3 on the street. Nobody is winning an SCCA National Championship on Nitto Invo tires.

Its still dumb. Duh. If you got money to waste good for you. Bags are frought with issues and cost money. Lets here a few stories of who's bags failed and left them sagging lol.

J8635621 10-16-2013 01:56 PM

You thought it was static. Don't squeeze your butthole so tight. That is fraught with issues

Thanks Danny, im following you back.

reyes5937 10-16-2013 10:28 PM

Sifu, its refreshing to see an 8 with nice wheels with meat on them great job. By the way what are the off set of your volk wheels, and are you using any spacers if so what size? Did you get your fenders pulled besides having them rolled or shaved? Are your tires rubbing? Is there any more room for a wider tire say 295/30, 285/35 or 285/30 whats your opinion. Its a load of questions but I'm trying to go wide on my wheels and i could use your opinion. Thanks.

stop it, no. Absolutely not. Why would you ever need that much meat on a tire.
You already posted in the will it fit thread and I answered your questions. The answer is still the same.

hopefully I'll be able to get it up there :fingersx:
the supercharged 8 I was in last year will definitely be up there with Marcos (the new owner)
keep your car looking that mean and you'll have no problem bagging another podium finish :)

:rollingla
I realize you don't understand function>form but a good number of people here don't get off on cars that aren't drivable. I know I could use some 285's on my car, I'm breaking the 255's free when I stomp the throttle.
