I hear you on that and I agree.

Car looks great!

However, have you ever thought of putting on proper sized tires that have wide shoulders? (say, direzza zii / yoko advan ad08 / hankook rs3) And raising it a taaaaad if need be on rubs? (and possibly stiffening it up a taaad if rubs)???

I think that would look amazing on those wheels + better suit the rest of the agressive look of the car

IMO right now, the current tire setup hinders the overall look if i had to criticize

ps - i loveeeee that sleK lip. Just cant quite justify yet buying it at its price, just to have to have it scrap up front if I wasn't careful

Anything bigger tire wise will not work. I already have my KW V2's at max height basically and I still rub over the really big bumps. I'm not interested in adding extra stiffness to the car since I daily drive it and my KW's are set to full stiff which is the max I want to go for stiffness.

If I was willing to get the inside of my fenders cut then bigger tires would work but I'm returning the car in less than a year so I'm not cutting the fenders even though it wouldn't even be noticeable.

saw the car on Reddit. It looks hot as always man!

Eyeman · 05-09-2013, 05:27 PM

I do the same, use cheap tires while I'm working out camber, etc issues. Nitto N555s seem to be the best cheaper tires that I've used lately. I used to use Sumitomos, switched to Nexxens.

Yeah these Nankang's are crap. I'm liking the Falkens tho kind of.

Eyeman · 05-09-2013, 05:52 PM

The Falkens I've used in the past were stiff, and since my wheels were oversized and suspensions stiff, they made my ride to harsh. Tend to be loud too. But they did help turn in, etc.

Hmm maybe I'll give the Nitto's a shot. Do they run wider than the others? That was one of my main concerns and I know Falkens don't run wide.

Eyeman · 05-09-2013, 07:17 PM

In my experience, Falkens, Toyos, and Nittos all run similarly small.
