If he doesnt lower the car you can for sure tell. I can spot Anjios car a mile away.

Like turborx8 said, not talking about the total size in tire. Talking about from the rim to the fender. Specially if you run silver than its stands out like a zit on a strippers ***.

RawrX8, I do like the occasional greasy Dick's sack every now and again. I'll see you guys out there one of these days.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

So I'm looking at the wheel/tire combo that Good-Win Racing has got on their site. Enkei RPF1 with Toyo T1-R 275/35/18 mounted and balanced.

I was considering getting the Toyo R1-R instead, except they don't come in the 275/35 size. I could do 265/35/18 in the R1-R's. Smaller width tire... smaller overall rolling diameter... What say you all?

I guess a difference of 10mm in width wouldn't really be all that much of a difference. For that matter, a difference of 3.5mm in rolling diameter wouldn't be that much either... right?

Or should I just stop whining and just go with the T1-R?

^You should buy them from Fluid Motorsports instead, and go with the R1-R.

Is there a reason for Fluid Motorsports over Good-Win Racing? Price? Customer service?
