Thanks, that does sound promising. I guess it'll make a pretty noticeable difference. Yeah I don't think I'll push any dangerous limits, I don't get any kicks taking a sharp turn at 100mph, I get more of a kick from launches, straight pulls, and low speed controlled slides. Man, I really can't wait to be able to put them on now.

Same wheel size as the stock rims, 215/245x18. Any thoughts?
