$1000 right? I didn't know those fit behind ap1 wheels!!! oh wait, i remember now.
I thought those sucked but someone told me they were solid piece caliper with 4 pistons!

Does it come with the rotors? I need some new rotors and front brakes soon.
265/45? I thought the admin posted 265/35?
245/45/16
255/40/16
265/35/16

For auto-x you can go to a 265 in the rear im sure. For Time attack/Road Racing you would not want to run that setup.
To tell the truth, judging from the way the 225/50-16 245/45-16 Kumhos fit on the stock wheels, I'd be surprised if 265s on back would bulge out any more than the 225s do on the front!
I wouldn't be averse to trying it, unless there have been actual "incidents" with that fitment on the S2k during road course usage.
BTW, when did "Time Trials" become "Time Attack"?
(Judging from it's usage around here, the term's been around a while, but I'd never heard it before!)

The V710 265's that we use for autocross bulge out more than the 225's in front. Both of them are wider than street tires of the same size also. They really pinch a lot. So much so that the inside shoulder, even with -2.5 degrees of camber and low pressures, isn't even scuffed on mine.
I actually think they are too wide, I'm not sure that they get any more contact than a 245/45/16 would, but, kuhmo doesn't make that size in that tire. I would stick with 245/45/16 in the rear and 205 or 225 in the front depending on the rest of your setup and personal preference.

i will have stock sway bars, and I would like a little oversteer, which I could manage with the stock setup.
so I guess 255's on the rears are the way to go?
Thanks for the link, btw

You wouldnt need to roll, but have you considered the massive amount of sidewall flex you're going to be experiencing as a result? I would strongly recommend going with some 17x9s.
