thats the general setup, for like 15s on a s13.

If I were you I would do 7" all around, I hate staggered setups. Just do a 205/55/15 all around, minimal sidewall flex and no worries about dragging if your low.

also want to point out, my car with chris's rear wheels, 9"+35 and 255 azenis, which are about a 265 really, did not stick out at all, and could have used a 5mil spacer to be flush

It will be about 8mm inboard of that wheel I posted that pokes past the quarter panel by a little bit.


BTW do your laughing now, because you are sure to make a lame poke about it not running now, and when it is, you'll only be able to catch up enough to hopefully view the license plate

Its ok though, we both know you'll just talk about how you somehow imaginitively think its not going to be able to turn, and probably dodge me each time I call you out on a race, with some lame excuse

Like I said, stretch, is fine, a little bit of stretch generally looks great, much better than tire bulge, square or slightly stretched is nice, but running itty bitty tires is going to result in less traction.
That's the whole difference, what I do with my car 215s have plenty of width. I don't plan on drag launching, ever. I will have like 300+whp Ka-t very soon, and will still be happy with my 215/45 maybe a 225/45 rear if I run azenis up front.

Ah, so what you are saying is you dont plan on going fast, just spinning a dyno to a certain number ?

225's for 300+ horsepower will suck. What kind of traction will you get from that?

A good launch isnt only for drag racing. I really need practice with mine, but then again I had been riding an open diff.

Actually I don't even drive my car hard, I just want to be able to say I make 300hp. Just to be cool.

Where have I EVER said the only thing I will be doing is drag racing ?

You somehow ASSUME that my engine is heavy and the car wont handle well. You couldnt be further from the truth, and since you dont comprehend it, only time will tell.
