Reset our best E.t. at 8.63 but mph was down a little. Had some issues with the Q45 throttle body and then in the final with tire pressure. Not bad for our first time out on the new setup though.

8.755@157.9 at 36-37psi which is as low as it goes on the new HTA42R from FP with our spring combo.

Congrats to Matt (02wrx2.5) on his new personal best of 9.54 and backing it up with a 9.56. That is absolutely flying for a 3000lb Subaru with exhaust and all its glass

I was just looking into those wheels for my Evo they look pretty good even with the color of your 1G jeff but maybe the non-black polished version would have looked even better? Just my opinion

Jeff would you mind pm'ing the backspacing as i was looking into the 15x8 with the 5.5" BS.

I didn't realize they had a 15x8.3 unless that's the exact measurement of the listed "15x8"

Good luck this weekend!

Patrick-

These are technically 15 x 8.275 in Weld's catalog. For your car I would do the 5.5" backspacing depending on whats on it now and how it clears everything. On Jeff's we ordered 6.5" (45mm offset) and then used a 10mm front and 15mm rear to clear teh inside. On an Evo the 8" wheel in a 20-25mm offset (whatever the 5.5" works out to) would be fine as is I feel.

Use the wheel calculator here to see what the changes are-

http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp

For reference I ran 18 x 9.5 et 25 in the front it just crested the wheel well. I run 18x9 TSWs in a 32mm right now and its still inside the wheel well. Play with the numbers and you'll see what you need. We didnt want to wait for full custom wheels so that was our plan...that and the 1G isnt a widebody so it makes it trickier.

Saw that on tuners!

Do you guys have a weight of the set-up with the 26" M&H's on?

I'd like to maybe try them with the 24.5's but that would give me a good idea.

Thanks for the link Aaron
