Do whatever ya want as long as that train wreck isn't anywhere on the road near me.

And the only solution to your problem is fix all the **** that is wrong, and get a PROPER STANCE, WITH PROPER TIRES. You still haven't learned **** from any of your half assed attempts. You got to pay to play, if not get the **** out the league.

if you buy summer tires and rotate them every ~2,000 miles, they will last you plenty long enough.

CleanNeon98 · 04-04-2010, 08:29 PM

Don't want the hassle, just wanna bolt them on and get the most miles for my dollars.

DC2-Chris · 04-04-2010, 08:31 PM

i drrive my gsr slammed on all season every single day camber wear is fine and im tucking tire
if your just going to daily it i dont see the big deall
i mean i do drive min everyday ... very slow... b/c puck fotholes

CleanNeon98 · 04-04-2010, 08:33 PM

Yea Chris, I'm in the same boat. Can't wait to have the wheels on, ordering tires tomorrow, hopefully they can come in by Thursday so I can have everything ready to go then, and if the shop isn't busy I'm gonna drop the car off Friday to get rolled and be ready to be out by Saturday. Seems like such a long wait.

With big ass tires

Lots of camber = lots of edge wear. Even with rock hard allseasons you're going to chew them up pretty fast.

I just don't want to sink 400 into tires with a 200 treadwear rating and have to replace them for winter, I drive a LOT and don't want the headache.

Gonna sit a tad higher than this

Is that a Miata what a Full Race sticker? Wtf...

needs more low and less shiny-ness

DC2-Chris · 04-04-2010, 10:27 PM

honestly i feel like you could just roll the fenders yourself all you really need is a heat gun and baseball bat... i think it will sit lower and you will be able to tuck more once you get the smaller tire.. honestly i drove by it at the starbucks in newtown in my green gsr spotted your car and posted about it you saw how low mine was i been driving it like that since 08 all you have to do is rotate your tires so you get an even wear or just buy two new fronts every year.... thats what i do lol

pinacup7 · 04-04-2010, 11:41 PM

I'm sorry but you are really doing all this and the car doesn't run right???? Take it to a professional, who knows it could be something easy.

Camber wear? You do plan on getting an alignment right? Have your toe set to 0 and you won't have to worry about this myth called camber wear.

Pics of alleged "slammed"-ness?

fitftw · 04-05-2010, 12:55 AM

getting toe set to exactly 0.0 is extremely difficult. Mine is between 0 and .05. And you should sit in the car or have 150-200lbs of weight on the seat or else your degrees will be up to .5 off

Wheel off the car is a 16x8 with a 205 40 but apparently Direzza 101 stretch better than other tires.

fitftw · 04-05-2010, 02:07 AM

I prefer the wheels that are on the car in that pic. Damn I like gold...

Tire can make or brake the look of a wheel. This tire sidewall is way too beefy. If you aren't going to stretch at least get a smaller sidewall. Is that picture of your actual car?

CleanNeon98 · 04-05-2010, 09:49 AM

It is. Were gonna run a smaller tire, the big one is what my friend runs.
