I didn't check this thread again until late so didn't get a pic. I went out yesterday to get it ready for this morning and one of my front tires was flat. I pulled it off and have a nail right at the edge of the sidewall and the tread, argh!!! It doesn't look fixable which sucks cause I should quite a few miles left on them. So I'm back to stockers until I buy a couple front tires, darn!! Actually the car felt pretty good on the stocker 17"'s, decided to do a speed run this morning, came around the last corner of 'the' straight on my way in, saw a few cars about a mile ahead, just left it in 6th and punched it. I was one handing it not even looking at the speedo until it was time to shut it down, I saw the odo roll from 138 to 139 just as I shut it down, pretty cool, that's my top speed so far, I'm going for 150 one of these days when all the conditions are right

 

dang, ur crazy! My max was only 120 on a long curve> got too scared, felt like the car gonna flip. So yeah...Oh You're on Iforged Sprints? Wow, they are expensive rims. Did you special order them? cuz you got a very high offset. Does it look wide in the rear?

They look pretty wide, they are special order.

Shoot, since the turbo I do over 100 almost everyday, anytime I pass tends to get it up there pretty quick. Before turbo I did 126, once you do 120 a few times it's not scary anymore but it's something you want to make sure you're ready for. I was thinking of passing a line of 4 cars this morning but the road wasn't dry and I would have needed to get it pretty good to get around them. I could just see hittin' vtec in 3rd, or even 4th and the back end coming out, not something I wanted to deal with this morning so I drove under the speed limit for a few miles. I've already rolled it once when it was slightly wet, it's been t'boed over 1/2 it's life so I'm gettin' pretty used to speed but I'm pretty careful about when I use it.

 

Hoc, if it feels like your gonna flip. mean you need to get something for down force or a nice set of coil will do too

 

Yeah, I need some good coils also. I worry about getting too low though, I already hit my lip on a couple low spots in the road, I'd have to stiffen up pretty good if it went any lower and I'm not sure how that would be for daily driving.

Now I'm thinking about selling my wheels, I may want to go back to 17" and go lighter weight. 17's feel pretty good but I miss the width of the 18's and running 285's. Not many wheels allow a 285 tire to fit w/out custom backspacing. Guess I'll have to start looking, I think I could get by w/a 265 or 275 but would really like to fit a 285.

 

hurry up and post ur pic of ur car and wheels up...I really want to see it....

 

I like this set call Sport Max 006, 18x9.5 rear, offset 35. Can I fit these with out neg camber? Just 285 tire size and narrow...

 

K, I'll try and do it tonight. I had a coupler melt on the turbo Thur. so I pulled it out and am waiting on a new one so it's just sitting in the shop on the OEM wheels (mine) right now.

I'll stick the iForged back on and take a pic.
