Thank you.

Probability continental dw 265/35. I got vorshlag top mounts on my KW V3, so I might not need fender roll correct? Cuz you and many people in the meaty tire thread did not roll fender.

Is there any tires you will recommend most? 255/35 MPSS(I know they run wide) or 265/35 other tires?

And I dont want to spend $1000+ on my first set so cant afford tires like RE-11 or AD08. hah.

i dont know where you get your information...my 4 corners are all rolled flat. but you dont need to roll them i dont think as a lot of people dont...i never wanted to have issues so i rolled all 4 to be safe. there really isn't much to roll.

the issue i had was in the front by the sidemarker. you feel how it flares out, under hard compression on certain corners i rubbed there. in the rear its the bumper tab that needs trimming.

for the street/track i reocmmend the MPSS. got with a 255/35 MPSS. i understand they are not cheap, but they are really the only tire that has the stats it does. it has high tread wear, is good in wet, is super grippy and IIRC has 30k warranty. every other tire that has the same performance has a much lower tread life, and most are not good in wet at all.

with that said if right now money is an issue the DW are a good choice, also consider BF rivals, but they aren't the best in the wet....

Thank you.

I think I will try 255/35 first.
Also will consider PSS.

Thanks.

I am ready to join the meaty tire group.

255/35R18 DW.

I planed to go 255 PSS, but they are out of stock in all websites and stores including tirerack and discount tire.

Back order gonna take a month. I cant wait any more cuz Iv already wait for my rims for 3 months.

My TE37SL will be delivered on Monday. I will take them with tires to a local tire shop to do the installation and rotation. Then I will go to AZP Install next Sat. to do an alignment in order to fit these new wheels.

New wheels installed.
255/35R18 DW on 18X9.5 +40 TE37SL. Meaty square setup.
and did a new alignment at AZP install.

Cambers are -1.9 front, -1.7 rear.
a little bit toe in rear(+0.08) and a tiny toe out (-0.01)front.

The car handled like an animal !!!
I love it and it is sooooo much better than my last setup and the factory setup.

The 255 DW tires are not too wide at all.

The weight is 23lb for every tire and 18lb for every rims.

So there is only 41lb at every corner, which is even lighter than factory 41.5lb 215 setup.

I dont know why, but that 5 axis kit looks so damn sexy. I uhh.. had to copy lol. I bought it as soon as i found out what it was. Not a bad price pre-painted. How hard was it to install? Looks fairly easy from the videos.

I got the body kit pre-install by local dealer.

Should not be hard to install at all, just some clips and 3m tape.
