Also since Kevin K is running an HTA86 and 10:1 compression now, I got to do these little things to try my best to keep ahead of him on the streets cool Adding more tire will only slow the car down up top lol

Actually fitment is good with the +35 offset. I could run a 245 tire with no rubbing issues at all, which some guys are already doing with the same rims on 1g AWD's.


Interesting info, do you not have traction issues in lower gears at your power level? What would a 235 tire add in weight vs a 215, maybe 1lb per corner? I would have though the advantage in traction would outweight the minimal additional weight, that is, if your having traction issues with the 215's.
