That tire tread looks sexy. I think tire tread contributes to the look of a car. And that car sure does look good. I bet it lays down some nice stripes too

They are nice and sticky, the 245's broke loose all the time, these here let me mash it and keep it straight. But at 500hp a WOT throttle blip and their spinning.

Wow, we can fit more rubber than I thought in the rear, is your fender even rolled?

The inner lips is rolled. When I have it alligned I am going to dial the rear camber back to -1 degree. So the tire will be flush with the fender, but under squat it will clear the quarter lip at the height it is.

with a 9 inch wheel, +35 offset, and 2 degrees negative you can fit a 285 on a s13 without pulling the quarter.

Nice to see something other than people stretching 195s on 10" wheels....

Looks good. I'm a fan of beefy tires myself. Especially on a car with balls.
