Two quick pics - new shoes

BrokenVert · 04-04-2010, 11:06 AM

6 months of aggrivation for those forgestars turned out great.

Two questions...
what tires and sizes are you running?
And are yu going to come out to meets again?

ptack · 04-04-2010, 04:23 PM

They're Hankook V12s, 235s up front and 255s in back.

I'd love to go to the meets, but I've had other things I had to do. I'd like to go to Harold's again next Sunday, but I'll be on an airplane, and on Memorial day weekend I'll be in Ct.

Glad to see things got sorted out!
New shoes look fantastic!

Those tires look like they have a lot of meat on them. How do you like them?

WishBone33 · 04-04-2010, 10:23 PM

is it still rubbing?

ptack · 04-05-2010, 09:04 AM

The tires do look meaty in these pics, but I think that's just the lighting. So far they seem ok - a bit noisier than the Dunlop Winter 3Ds, but they are brand new so that may quiet down somewhat with wear.
As for the imfamous rubbing - none when I'm alone, but occasionally when I have a passenger, and only on the passenger rear side. I'm thinking I may have to take that wheel off to check the measurment and make sure it's to spec. I've looked inside the well and don't see anything protruding or out of place. It's odd. Gotta remember to check the cammber too.

nice wheels!

WishBone33 · 04-05-2010, 02:04 PM

are you running stock set up?
are those 18 or 19?

ptack · 04-05-2010, 04:00 PM

18s. I like 19s, but they'd probably get destroyed out here so I thought I was being conservative with the 18s. Suspension is still stock. Have to resolve the bump-rub.

How you plan on doin that?
