No disrespect, but I am really ****king tired of asking people for the setups especially the ones that are very nice, and you know exactly who you are.

Why don't people list the specs of their wheels? Offset? Tire size? Wheel size? Please be kind and share these thing with us lowlifes so that we may learn or do you require a payment by PayPal before you enlighten us?

If so I have no issues with payment, I am right on the cusp of spending $1k+ on wheels and would like some sort of input besides pictures of badass cars with badass wheels damn it!!!!!

me too im clueless who makes them ?are yours with the 4x110 bolt pattern?

The 195s are good ,but im having traction issues with my turbo set up i they spin all the way up till third ....i was trying to find 205s but no one seems to have them =(

but on the bright side its saving my transmission and rear end

205/60's should fit a stock layout with RB springs without any rubbing, yes?

Puna Rotary: Yeah, mine are 4x110. Ive pretty much only been able to get the 205/60s online at places like tirerack.com they have a really nice set of yokohama avs es100's on there even if they are pricey. I'm about to experience traction issues as soon as my streetport 4port 13b is up and running, at that point i may convert to 4x114.3 so i can get some meat under it...
