favorite wheel/tire setup
 
What wheel tires setup do you prefer for your ride? post!!! Just want to see what you guys run..


I have 17X9 rear and 17X8 in the front
run 215/45/17 in the back and 225/45s in the front . Im gunna try the 225 in the back next.. or should i stretch teh front tires too.. I hate NEXEN tires...Dont ever use nexen tires.. theyll understeer if u have it in the front.

i actually used Nexen N3000's yesterday at an event in the rear and they did very well. cheap tires without chunking? hell yes!

wow they're rated at 340 treadwear, AA traction, A temp. they did heat up quite a bit, i had about 15psi increase coming off a hot run, with the tires still smoking a little and leaving a trail of rubber bits.

edit 2x:
federal 595's are $5 cheaper each but only 280 treadwear and A traction.

i guess nexens in teh rear is fine, but in the front they understeer badly...

yea to me it seemed first starting out they gripped fine but once they got hot they were pretty slippery.

stern st1 18x9.5 +25 with 215/40/18 rt-615s up front with 10 mm spacer
falken kablones(sp?) 18x9.5 215/40/18 +35 with feddy 595s out back 50mm spacer.

perfect setup.. well i wish I had wider rears like 11s or something. maybe when I get my new wheels..

I dont have a pic of it recently. but here is one that I took awhile ago.(note: differant tires)
