I'm seeing a lot of 9-9.5 widths with stretched 225/235 tires. What I would like to see is what offset is needed with R-comp/200tw 245-255 tires on these widths.

If you have a tap and die set, clean the threads thoroughly with a wire brush and run a die over it. The end link nut came off like butter after.

Unfortunately, a track day will still kill some Max performance tires. Not all Max performance/UHP summer tire compounds can handle immense heat like that. You should look at the Michelin PS4S,...

I wasn't a fan either until I saw them on a 2017+ 86 rear bumper. It flows very nicely with the redesigned lower bumper trim.
