Well done friend! I'm getting something 18x9.5 for daily soon. Thinking about 265/35 square as well! You getting 255s?

Thanks man. Yeah I think I'm going to do 255/35. I thought about 265, but I think 255 will work the best without being too wide. The choice now is which tires to get. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with the Hankook V12s or go with something else this time around.

I'm running 255/40/17 for autoX so I think I can do 265/35/18... I'll need a touch more front camber which I want/need anyway for autoX.

Did you get your rear lips rolled at all? I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to have to do that. Ian still hasn't responded to my call out for him asking about. I'm going to have a similar setup to him.

No, because rolled fenders are illegal in STX.

Michelin Pilot super sport???

NorCal_Guy · 10-24-2013, 04:00 AM

Hey guys, I've been debating on getting the gt86 red engine cover but couldn't justify spending over $200 for it so I decided to do it myself. Let me know what you think I just finished it tonight.

Are a huge waste of money. Plenty of tires that make more grip for half the price. The only good thing about the Super Sports is they are quiet. But this is just a noise 25K car, not a $189K GT3 RS.

Sorry Finch. I thought I replied to this sooner.

The wear has been AWESOME on my front wheels. They still look practically new. The rear wheels are not as awesome because I'm at 10k without rotating on 2-3 degrees of camber. Soooo the inside edge is showing accelerated wear. Had I been a good driver and rotated at 5k it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

The tires on the new wheels will be treated better.
