*facepalm*

not at you tho ryan...

ok...

so do you have the tires already??


reason why i'm asking is because if you don't know much about fitment - jumping straight into aggressive fitments may discourage you from modding - that or you might end up biting off more than you can chew.

if you're ready to start getting your fenders rolled/shaved, take your car to the alignment shop to dial in your specs and stiffen your suspension then by all means go for it...because those specs will work for an aggressive fitment.

Mind you tho, you're going to be running with a slightly more narrow tire than what's recommended for that width which may hamper certain aspects of your driving - decreasing scrub radius and affect your sidewall. Tho rotational mass will be decreased (thus increasing response) you will be sacrificing it for the duration of grip. This is one of the reasons why it's more beneficial for DRIFTERS. Dunno bou't you - but as much as i like sliding thru intersections - there's just some times i'd prefer to grip the road...
