Do you have offsets on these? I like the tire sizes and wheels actually.

48 offset.
(maybe but I still think they're 38's and am awaiting confirmation tonight)

Thanks, let me know when you find out. IDK why but the fitment makes me think 38 because they seem to be fairly flush with the fender.

Yeah I'm 99% sure they're 38's but I'll confirm it with Al as he thinks they're 48's...

The mag after I stripped all the old powder coating off of it. Really old school mags that are getting a little long in the tooth I suppose.

275/40/17 BFG KDW. I'll try to get some decent pics with them on my car along with my buddy's Fikse FM10's with 315's Mickeys mounted on my car.

About those Star Specs... I'm about to toss the ones I had on the front of my car. (Actually, I'll put 'em up on Craigslist, I expect, see if I can get *something* back for them.) They don't stick very well with the Supra. I've talked to plenty of guys in the Miata group that sing their praises all day long, either they are smoking the crack, or they only work well on light cars - they break loose way to easily, way less effective than the Falken Azenis I was running before.

theres an evo 8 @ the shop i take my car and he swears by them for track duty... any possibility the tires were damaged? stored below freezing? they must be treated like slicks and will chunk if the temp is too low

Anything is possible of course, however, I wouldn't rate it as likely. I bought them from a local tire shop that knows what they are doing, and I bought them in the summer, when it doesn't get that cold south of the Arctic circle.

NT 555Rs in 305 30 18 on 18x10 inch wheels (+43 0ffset i believe)-fenders rolled...not pulled.

Any more traction problems with the 305s? (I remember you mentioning that in your dyno thread). They look great!

 

[polobai]

Yes partially because the 555r's suck. 1k miles and they are done-street driving with no track
time. I wasn't too easy on them but geez... Gimme a break tires ain't cheap!

so what setup do you have in the front? I love this stance. Looks great. Any camber etc? Just trying to figure out how you put such large tires without rubbing. Looks beautiful btw
