NO MORE CAPS!!!

I used 215/35/19's on my 19x8's. I chose this because I knew for certain there would be no rubbing with S-Techs. However, the tire does not seem wide enough to me, it looks undersize. That looks bad unless you into the whole stretched tire look.

do you think 225/35/19 would be better? do you think they would rub.

They won't rub (much)... That's what I run... Just a little rubbing on BIG dips on the freeway.... but 30's or stretching just doesn't look right IMHO.

can i ask you why u have a roll bar in yr car?
are you racing that car on the track?

I think some people go to far with their cars....

it's not that fast even with yr nitrous...
I think the roll bar is useless unless you are running that car on the track or in scca...

just my 2 cents.....

YAWN.... The bar is SCCA approved..... I wanted seats and harnesses for show and track use, and had to have a bar to run them safely... It's enourmously reckless to run harnesses without a bar... so that's where that came in... plus got a killer deal, so I thought, WHY NOT?

But, If you follow any of my 2000 posts... you'll see that I have done a whole lot just for the sake of doing it and seeing what I can get out of my car just on my own.... (EVERYTHING I've done myself) and to see what I can take a tC bone stock and make of it.

I show my car, so the nitrous is 70% show and 30% real go... but will be dyno'd and run for slips - N/A and w/N2O as well.

So, it's a combination of a fun hobby, a competitive show tC, and because I can afford to. Some people play sports... I mod my car.
