New pics of the ride,... and 255 wide rubber

Took some new pics of the car on the way home. Getting a feeling for my new Azenis RT615 255/40R17s... love this tire. Blows away any other tire I've had for street use,... and it comes in sizes better than the 215s did. Overall tire diameter is smaller than the Advans and I have 20mm more or wider stickier tread. Heading to RRC on Thursday for sway/bushings/and alignment,... should be fun.

you might want to purchase wider wheels to achieve a better fitment for a 255, 17X9

Nope.... they feel great,... been done plenty of times

8in wide is fine for 255s, ... Falken says just don't mount it on a 7.5 wide tire, plus I know plenty of people using their stock rims as track tires with 255 RA-1 on em,..

Try it,.. you won't be disappointed

Well I had some experience with the old Azenis in the wet on my old WRX,.. weren't really that bad, ... Falken rates these as the same in the wet.

I love these tires.
