275/40/17, grip is indescribable yet I still manage to come out of corners with a slight drift on my hot laps

Always all around if you want to take advantage of the FD's natural balance. And yes, the front fenders were rolled.

Beautiful! I love the tire setup. I thought about running 275 all around butI don't think is will be enough out back though. I'm considering 285s all around but part up me wants to step it up to a 315 in the rear.

Dennis, your FD looks retarded good man. I think I need to spend some time and elbow grease on my baby

Marco, that's some serious overall diameter (almost 26 inches) front and back...... I've been running that size for years in the rear, but not in the front. Have you noticed a loss in acceleration due to the longer effective gears? I'm running 4.3s with the JDM trans (shorter 5th) and have been very happy with them.

Dennis, the FD is looking CLEAN! Love the ccw classics, maybe its just the photo but looks like the rear can come down a bit?

Yeah man your right....
But the roads are such crap over here i dont want to risk scraping the Dolphin tail.

But i should lower it a bit to even out the car cause the front is aimed right at the floor.

Some pics with temporary wheels while my K58's are being re-finished. Some changes may be happening...

its 18x10 +38 back with 265/35/18 and 18X9.5 +45 255/35/18

The picture is making the tires seem thinner than what they actually are for some reason. Here is a pic taken without flash which dosent show much shadow..
