This is not a garage queen - he will be running the car at Thunderhill this week and probably be at many up coming track days as well.
Since when does Falken offer the RT615 in a 245/40?
Why run a 9.5 rim and put a tire that belongs on a 8.5 rim, I dont see the point.
Just get the the smaller rim if your not going to run the proper combination.
I personally run a 18x9 wheel with a 265 tire, no tire stretching.
And whoever said the 615's run wider that most tires of the same size is way off, as a matter of fact I have seen them run consistantly smaller in with than comparables.....

looks like 35th avenue in SF haha am i right??? You guys wanna help me roll my fenders too???Im gonna get a real fender roller though.
I don't think my friend really has time to do other cars but be warned - if you mess up you can cause some body damage. I'd stay away if you don't have any experience doing this yourself.

You can run a 255 and be faster than someone running 275s. Last time I checked, Cyber Evo is running 255s when it made a 55 sec run at Tuskuba and the Puma race Evo runs only 235!
I would not recommend having 275s for everyday since it will most likely kill your power steering pump.

Plus the car has to be drivable on the street as well as the race track.
This ain't no show/garage queen.
