    New AFS 10.5 Rims with Nitto Extreme 285's

    Methodical - Disc. Tires Direct has Nitto,BFG,Yoko's and other brands in the 315/35/17 size. Most are going to have a tireware of 100. Nitto only makes the drag radial in the 315 size. I wish they would make the 555 in the 315 size. That would be an awsome tire.:hail2:

    Got a super deal on a pair of AFS 10.5" rims on eBay then put some Nitto 555 285/40/17's from Discount Tire Direct . Nice firm ride, and no rubbing anywhere or removal of quads. I chose the 555 extremes so I could get the 300 tireware rating. :nice:

    How hard is it to remove the center cap from rims ? I know a dumb question, but I don't want to mess the rim up etc. Reason is, I got a sweet deal on eBay for a pair of silver AFS Cobra R 10.5 rims, and I want to take their snake off and put a genuine FMS Cobra R center cap in it's place...

    Pro M 80mm - Worth it to replace C&L 76mm?

    I was able to call PMAS today, and spoke with one of there tech.'s I explained what I had in bolt on's etc. He was very confident that with my combo the Pro M 80mm would flow more air and most likely add 5 rwhp across the entire rpm range. So we'll see. I'll probably keep the C&L because...

    Pro M 80mm - Worth it to replace C&L 76mm?

    That sounds like a good plan. :D I have a feeling that the Pro M would respond to a tune better than the C&L, given how the C&L fools the computer. Thanks Grady, I appreciate the input.
