rotor vs. piston

Buying some tires after having my wheels for a year.

From my test fitting it looks as if it will, can anyone confirm.

Please read my sig for my suspension setup

Mine's something like that. I'm thinking 250/50/17, but I know absolutely NOTHING about tires, and I'm sure that could be COMPLETELY wrong

225/45/16, 18mm offset on the wheels I have. I may be wrong since I am inebriated but I will check tomorrow for you.

i can run a 285/40/15 on my rear and thats a fairly large tire.....so if i have enough room for the much rubber i think that u should be ok with what ur goin to be purchasing.....not sure if this helps at all...but thought it was worth trying

285? Is that with a wide body kit? What is the offset and backspacing on the wheels to run that wide of a tire?

I run 225/45/16, and they are awesome. You may need to curl you wheelwells.

hey for all of u that think that those are some massive tires heres a link to my website that shows pics of the car....as u will see the bodykit is very wide so the tires have to be wide....hope you like my ride

its kind of funny tho... i can understand the v8 guy up there wanting to use wider tires in back, but for the rotary guys, the ideal setup for handling in these cars is just the stock 195/60R13's... if i were to drag my car, i'd have an extra set of rims for the back to have wider tires.... course if u widebody, it'd look kinda goofy to only use those wide tires at the drags lol

I have some 13" Mickey Thompson drag radials for those special occasions. Will post pics later, they look out of place on that car for some reason.

Thanks, I've ordered. Guess I'll put 'em on this weekend it's not a complet wash out. I'll post pics. Don't expect anything great as my car is primered grey at the moment. Wait to get painted.
