so first for the tech part of this

what i needed to run a wider tire up front?
and for some reason at oposite lock to the right im getting tire rub, any ideas on what? these are on 245/45/17



2nd is what rim to get

i think im going to stick to the newer saleen rims due to price and they still look damn good

I'm partial to the hypercoats, but it depends on the color of your car.

I am running 17x9 rims with a 255/40/17 up front, and if I wanted I could go to a 275.

I still think the hypercoats will go good with either Red, Deep Blue or Black.

if ur gonna be runnin 18s, u can definitely fit a 275 up front. i run 275/35/18s up front and 295s out back. no problem, except for obviously at full lock, but how often are u at a full lock turning?

haha i just ordered the black rims, 275/35/18 for the front and 295/35/18 for the back, kuhmo ecsta mx's

this is only at full lock clockwise (right), and ive only ever done it twice because i didnt wanna do a left u turn?? dont ask

i full lock to the left more often than not doing u-turns because i drive for pizza hut, not that hard to just go around the block though and avoid it all together
