Damn guy, how're you gonna get enough heat into your back tyres to get them sticky? Remember EastCoastRSX?

Thanks, and it is true I am a little crazy. I have put a lot of effort and money into fitting these tyres so if it isn't fast it is going to suck .

Hoosier claim 648mm diameter for the 275/40s and my stock size RE001s are purported to be 633mm in diameter so the difference is not huge. Not enough to worry about in my opinion.

guy.. i'm impressed

Thanks champ. See you at the track some time, maybe this time I will pip you by 0.02 of a second .

Lies.

I once considered getting some R32 GT-R wheels for track, they are good gear . Then something snapped in my brain and I decided to see whether I could fit huge tyres.

No. Why do you ask?

I have no idea, a whole lot of FWD drift will probably help. Up for some passenger laps with maniacal laughter included? I think there were plenty of flaws in that EastCoastRSX guys setup so I think I will have a little more success. Hopefully.

haha that looks insane..

did you go for a drive?

Nah not going to street drive these tyres, I am going to treat them like my first born.

Haha, you know I'm kidding guy. Your setup will kick ass and I'm keen to help document you prove those Yanks wrong about running anything larger than 255's on R-compounds.

<-- that is me during our passenger lap

[tRipitaka]

is there a reason why you took a photo of your driver side front guard instead of your passenger side ?

very impressive. i salute u.

[Wlee2]

holy crud.. i just realized you did a decent amount of Pulling to those guards...

[tinkerbell]

you did a decent amount of Pulling to those guards...

must ... resist ... inappropriate ... comment!

bu my word! that is some decent contact patch!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. All will be revealed when I take it to the track soon .

There is nothing wrong with either of my front guards, what are you talking about?

holy crud.. i just realized you did a decent amount of Pulling to those guards...

Yes indeed.

Thanks! I am hoping the loss of acceleration from the larger wheels and tyres and the added rolling resistance will be more than offset by the significantly higher cornering speeds. We will see .

Thats what i was thinking. You might find that you'll go slower.
