Nittos needs a small burnout, if smoke comes to the windows, I think you cook them to much.
Well they dont look as bad as i thought they would. I cant make up my mind on what to do. What air pressure are you using? How much life do you see out of them?

Best way to set pressure on street tires, do a good burn out, look at the rubber on the street, it should be a solid thick(as wide as the tire) stripe. If there are two stripes, or one narrow one pressure is too high, drop it until you get the solid stripe. For the strip only go as low as 20 psi, but fill em up before driving home. Carl

i think it looks low because i was running the 275/40's on a 17x9 rim.... if i had a 17x10 rim it would stretch it more and look lower profile. i had to roll the fenders sooo bad when i put the tires on!
i have coilovers now and raised up the car a bit no more rubbing

when you run 17's with 45's and 40's it makes for NO GAP! lol
