well in the case of the GT3RS, its designed around that size of a tire from the factory, so if you're doing a blank sheet design, bigger diameter tire means bigger contact patch. and OEMs have the benefit to spec a tire from a manufacturer. if some tuner shop wanted to build a race car, they don't pockets deep enough to get someone to build them a 21" slick... haha

thats what I used to think till I went back and watched it again... it looks so tame in comparison to his newer stuff. I just think people remember the first one being a lot better than it is cause it was the first vid of anyone doing anything like that, so it blew everyone's mind. then the rest were like, "meh, I'ver already seen that"

I think the best one was the San Francisco one, followed closely by the Mustang one cause that car is da SH*T!
