Anyone mounted up 255/40R17 Nankang CR1s?

I've heard these fit VERY wide - like 275/285ish.

Thanks, Glenn!


Nice that it's available in 5 gallon pails. Looks like that will drop the cost by about 50% compared to buying the 32oz cans.

Is boostane available in Canada? When I first when shopping for an octane additive it wasn't.

Richard is a solid guy. You won't go wrong dealing with him.

The GTF1 wheels are used on a LOT of track cars. Ridiculously strong, and weight-wise they're within a few ounces of the RPF1.
