yeah the tires are gigantic. My days of losing grip are over. If i lose traction with this setup I'm either over 500whp or yanking the wheel at over 100mph. I'm so tempted to roll north on 1 to take 540W home so I can test these bad boys out on the crazy long on-ramp.

Already responded over on evoX but I'm jealous bud. They look great. Definitely getting wheels after the suspension finally comes in.

Saturday @ 1 @ Wild Wings. Everyone mark your calendar! We'll meet down over the hill at Best Buy and walk up so our cars will remain dent free

ya probably. I am welling to sacrefice the additional 10-15 whp for the sake of the hassle with fitment and save on the cost.


Luke, a new evo guy (from MI) just moved to greensboro and was asking if there are ny evoers around. flip thru this thread and u should find him with pics of his ww rs.
