I clearly stated that I DID do a search and I DID check the faq, which FAILED to answer my questions. In fact it was in my first sentence of my first post. To prevent a misunderstanding to form. Since 95 percent of the threads I searched before posting, the replies was "SEARCH"
My goal is not at all unatainable nor ambigious I have seen it done, I have an idea, red top sr20det with a upgraded fuel system (740 cc injectors etc etc.) As well as a T3/T4 turbocharger, running at about 20 psi off boost, so the power is attainable I know that for a fact. Not to mention that I also have the option of going with an RB block.
As for budget, I know that it will cost me around 12-14k off modifications to have my car well built. So I have a time frame, to be completely done in about 2 years.
But you are in a "pissy" mood, saw some newb, and to you automatically assumed newbs = dumbass ricer. You are dead wrong in this assumption.
My question wasn't so ambigous, best street tire setup up for having 450+ crank hp.
Obviously I posted becuase the search and the FAQ did not help me. Most of the tire threads I searched was about fitting 215s in our stock rims. I am not interested in that. Only one helpful post came from a former supra owner that might be somewhat related to what I wan't to do, he had rear 10 wide rims, and 8 inch wide front rims. He was however the but of contraversy since others stated that with that setup understeering would be a problem.
And you said that I didnt check search, or the FAQ before posting. OF COURSE I DID. I searched about 3 days before posting.
Thanks for my warm welcome. Moderator. Btw I am not responsible for your personal mishaps.
Thank you for taking your personal problems into my thread
"best street tire setup up for having 450+ crank hp."
thats not ambiguous? I could say "sticky tires" and it wouldnt help you much...ambigious answer to an ambiguous question.
BTW, it wasnt just your thread, its a lot of people. I see threads just like the one you posted previously about 3+ times a week, and it isnt productive. your quesiton was ambiguous. what you asked in this forum was similar to someone popping into the turbo KA forumg and saying "I want good boost response, and high HP, can you tell me how to do it?"
Alll I am asking for is some refinement of your question. I dont have problems helping people, but the FAQ helps a ton about suspension setups, and if you read the statements about over and understeer it will help you quite a bit. AS for my advice to you, since you obviously have a large budget, a set of highly adjustble street coilovers would do well, with a nice 17" wheels, running soehting like a 17x7.5 front and 17x9 rear, with tires of 225-45-17 and 255-40-17, with over 400hp you wont experience understeer problems, and the 255-40 will provde plenty of contact patch if you get a good sticky tire.
I am not in a "good" mood, but When you get the same question 10 times a week you'd get pretty sick of it too. Its not personal, trust me. I can help you much more if you give me the information I requested in my sticky posts also.

Your question is too vauge. Do you want comfort? Race track ready? A little of both?
If you don't care about comfort, there are a plethora of coilovers out there...the top 'street' models from Jic, Tein, HKS, Zeal, Gab, Apexi, Cusco ect ect will all suite your needs.
Do you want comfort? Then a good strut (KYB AGX, Koni Yellow, ect) with some springs (eibach, intrax, whiteline, ect) will be fine. Not that comfy? Look into the lower lineup of coilovers from all of the aformentioned manufactures.
Do you want even more? How about some bushings from whiteline. Then some strut bars and sway bars could be an option. Sway bars from whiteline or strut bars from apexi, Jic or whoever would be good.
Even more? Like adjustability? Don't mind a really harsh ride? There are a number of different suspension components all with spherical ball joints available from Jic, Battle Version, and Cusco for the true enthusiast...T/C rods, foward links, control arms, and trailing links!
Wheels? Too many options to list. You would be fine on any wheel that can handle at least a 225 series tire in the rear. I would go wider though if money was not an option. 255s in the rear would be nice with some 225's in the front. Diameter is up to you. You like bling, get a big wheel. Don't care? A 16 would be fine...if that's too small, get 17's. Offset questions? Depends on the wheel width. Any good wheel/tire shop (I said good) could help you out with that. What tires to run? Look to Exar's post on the top of this forum for some nice tire reviews. Also, think about what brakes you are going to run and consider their size when purchasing your wheels...you'll want to be sure they'll clear the calipers.

Well Comfort would be a far second place in terms of priority compared to performance. But considering how the car would be driven often I guess id be Forced to make a compromise of some sort. Idieally I am opting for 95 percent performance 5 percent comfort... Right now I am thinking of going with a coilover setup. But Ill find out for sure soon enough.
As for wheels, looks come a far second to performance, So lll problably stick to 17s at largest in term of diameter, definitively not 18s. What I am more concerned is getting wide enough for traction. At previously said power levels, (450+ crank) 255s rear and 225s front will be enough? It is problably just me but that seems rather small to me, but im problably wrong. However could I get more diameter? If so is it nccessary? That sounds about the same as a Mazda RX7 sports.
As for brakes, I am thinking of going with a complete z32 brake setup. Do you think this weill be enough? Or would I need more?

Why do you people plan so far into the future? You're talking about wheel setups for a car you don't own. How about once you get an engine in there you mod it until you get consistant traction loss, then go with a better tire, then when slippage happens again, you get bigger wheels.
Your car is stock and your getting pissed cause your getting stupid answers...the simple solution is to stop asking stupid questions. If you searched for three days you would have seen the amount of people who posted the same stupid question you did.

Apexi I tell you why I plan my projects. Becuase people that don't have any idea of what they plan, end up with extremely ****ty projects. I decided to buy this car BECUASE it could be a project.
So what if my car is stock? Its going stay stock forever? no I don't think so.
Wheel setups for I car I don't own? I beg to differ, the car is mine and already 100 percent paid for.
As for your suggestion sounds like a waste of money. Youre telling me to buy better tires with stock rims. Then when those 215s Z rated tires don't work buy rims and those same bigger Z rated tires? Even tho I bought the previous pair at a maximum of 6 months ago?
Where the hell is the logic in that? I known people that modded like that, when they look at their final project, they learned that they spent 3 times as much money switching parts they would of spent if they had gone straight into the finished product.
I don't know, from my experience of my family and other people I will say that blind projects turn into **** projects. I should Have a goal to have an idea where I am going.
So you may of deemed my question, and everyones question stupid, but your suggestion seems a bit wasteful if you ask me.
