you need to drive the car harder. and ditch that instructor....not trying to be a dick...but I ran 18x10's on 225 40' on a stock KA. heavy ass gramlight multi piece wheels too.

only thing I could possibly think of is your front tires are old....but then again. I ran nankang's on the fronts...and they did just fine. but again...I drive hard.


csomme....is mike the guy that built the car? i'll hit him up. ask some q's.

edit: damn...federals all around. should be cake.

I ran 18x9 215 35 front and 18x10 225 40 rears...my wheels are probably heavier than your 521's if that's what you are driving on.(or around the same weight 24lbs)

too much strech will only stiffen the tire...won't make it impossible to drive...just a little harder. again...I ran damn near the same setup on my s14 (which s14's grip even more)
It was Charlie from JD, and tires were brand new when i hit the track. Ill be pushing it harder next time.
I might end up switching tires size up front to 225/35 to kind of ease the stretch.
