I got 225/45/17 Kumho MX in the rear right now, am planning on going with RT615 in the front in 215/40/17 for more clearance.

Between the MX, RT615, and RS2 (the Hankooks), which ones would last longer in the front for drift/road racing?

theMX run wider then what they are rated. knda like the old AZENIS tires
the RT i wasnt crazy about. i ran them in a 215/40 on my s14 way back when they frst came out
the RS2s i havent used by my friends love them. great tire

id go w/ the RS2s or the Falken 452s
i know the falkens on VULCANTIRE.COM are like 200 shipped (at least to my door it was)

lol

Youre Gar's friend, right?

If you want, I can rip out your fender liners, relocate your harness and take a hammer to your front wheel wells.

You have coilovers right?

Nizzan4u2nv · 11-04-2006, 09:06 PM

Fender liner? I doubt anyone in this thread still has fender liners. Mine have been in the trash since day 1.

Brian · 11-04-2006, 09:11 PM

Fender Liner.... seriously?
We throw those away before they even have time to get comfortable.

articdragon192 · 11-04-2006, 09:45 PM

^werd. Fenderliners are none existant, lol.

smelly240 · 11-04-2006, 10:22 PM

LOL - Fenderliners! my tires touch the inside of the 1/4's - if u cant go over speed bumps - you shouldnt have fenderliners

McRussellPants · 11-04-2006, 10:54 PM

If you can't figure out how to put the fenderliners in the garbage you'll never be able to figure out how to move the harness once the tire chews through it.

215/40... miles away from ordinary... and your frame rails.

chmercer · 11-05-2006, 12:51 AM

W3rd up.

I hate Tire Rack's website, and their sales reps, from what I heard, won't sell you wheels that might not fit your car (due to liability issues I guess) either.

So how did you do it Siizzzoooo?

couldn't you just tell the sales rep that you have an open wheel kit car or something?

no its a reason poor people have flat black cars and they have to choose between paint and body or engine and power

just out of curiosity what wheels are available from dicount tires in that size?

and

@Dousan_PG: that has got to be one of the hottest fastbacks ive ever seen. wheel specs?

Flybert · 11-05-2006, 11:49 PM

AHAAHAH brian, show him the pic of your bumper in that exact same spot and make your call FTW.

drifts135 · 11-06-2006, 12:28 AM

I know it isnt an s chassis or a Z car, but it has front suspension like a z and rear like an s, so can yall let it slide? I sold it 3 days ago, and will miss it terribly, so here's a montage of sorts to see it out with... It brought a pretty penny, and almost every dime will go into making the old s13 rock...

Point is that this is as low as the front fender design would alow me to go and still perform well... I shoulda jus made the front a real pull, but it really jacks up the lines of an r32 fender when u do that.

Here it was bone stock the day I picked it up...

SilviaSR20DET · 11-06-2006, 02:19 AM

yeah haha, i do have coilovers actually and did the relocation of the harness already. so i guess the only solution is to rip out the inner liner but im just worried of how it would look with all that space...

Well thats pretty much the only solution left for you, beside raise the car up.
It looks fine. I dont see any modified 240s with them.

articdragon192 · 11-06-2006, 02:51 AM

That space wont be seen if you go low enough.
