Coming soon!


I went to The Spa today to pick them up and I brought them back in the 4Runner.

Holy cow, they are STUNNING. I looked over all of them and they are truly outstanding.

The tire size for the fronts is a 215/45 and the rears is 245/40 and the rears use a small spacer ring. They save 4 pounds per corner. Scott swung me a deal on the S02 PP, which he had from his car before the S03's he's running now. The tire is a lot bigger, but the same rolling diameter, so the contact patch I'm confident is as large or more so than the S02. I will miss the S02's as I think they are a truly formidable tire, but I will be going to something else, most likely, after I burn through these.

Anyway, I have them sitting on my dining room floor...I will be putting them on Friday. Headed to Gingerman in the AM...

I'll post pics on Saturday...man, I'm wired. What a day!



OK, this isn't MY car, but picture it without the rollcage and VOILA!



More to come...!

I think you're going to love that wheel/tire combo so much it will be hard to put the stocks back on for track events. Lower weight, larger tire patch, diminished side walls, better braking, quicker acceleration and faster rebound, hmmmmm, can you live with that?

Why do the rears need a spacer?? I thought at +59 offset they fit fine?

Also, wasnt the mugen reccomended rear size a 235? just off the top of my head
