205 45 on 9.5J

Why?

THIS:



Dont hate b/c god blessed me with feet to make heel/toe a breeze.

And THIS:



It's PLENTY correct. I wouldn't be able to turn at all without my fenders flapping like bird wings with my car being this low with a ******* 275 or whatever the correct sized tire is up front...... If i ran a 275 in the rear i would NEVER be able to break traction. Even in the wet..... Welded diff or not i dont think drifting would be very fun or even practical on such a tire in my situation.


You dont get it. You also aren't making any sense. Please leave. Now.

Also, those are federals, so they are really like 235's and 265's

I like those specs

would make clearance easier dumped with modded knuckles

I made a mistake by running my vsxx with 215's up front and the 18's with 275 in the back. sooo stupid.... had no traction up front, made my transitions understeer like crazy when im bombin it and getting aggressive.

cant wait to get some 225's on the equips. my 9.5 with 225 and 40 series handles good and gives it a good stretch.

RT615 all the way










Oh yea and that douche 1987 turbo go suck a dick. we dont give a **** about your balloon *** tires.

Haha! Gold.

You n/a guys. With your stretch, how much psi do you fancy? I'm thinking of trying out 50R and 35F. If it's still not giving me the desired feel i'll run something more reasonable and put my rear sway back on.... Thanks.

Was gonna do some shakedowns today and see if the bigger stretch on larger diameter wheels made a difference but we had scattered t storms and i didn't risk getting stuck in a downpour with the car in the air bleeding the brakes. GRRRRRRR. I'd like to drive and make the comparison so i can post my findings/opinion!

Rears are rated at 51 pounds max. Assuming car tires are like bike tires (they cut the fail pressure in half for the sidewall max psi), i can pump em up to like 65-70, right? Lol.


Here are my fronts. Took some ok pics today while they were off getting my brakes done.

205-40 9.5J





Ilia recommended this size and i didn't think it was a possible stretch but it worked great.

OMG. I need half a tank a gas and a charge on my battery stat. I've got that xmas eve feeling like you wouldn't believe. I want to know what hapari majik feels like.
