Thanks all!
The wheels are ADV1 ADV05TF. 20" x 9.5 front and 20" x 13 rear the rear tires are Nitto Invo 345 25 20. I purchased this set up from Ben @ Wheelsboutique.com w some hesitatiin due to the HUGE tires he was suggesting. In the end...Ben was spot on. I used their suggested sizes and offsets and everything fits perfect. Seriously perfect.

How do you like the Invo's? I recently put them on my car to find that even after 1000 MI they still seem sloppy compared to the Michelins that the car came with.

nevert00fast...long story short I had EVOMS weld in a set of coolant pipes....after 400 miles they were leaking coolant out of maybe 5-7 pinholes. As advised...I JB welded them up and they seem to be holding fine.
elite1...I have run Invos on pretty much every car I have owned in the past few years. For the money I think they are a fine tire. Are the Michelins better? Probably.... MUCH better? I dont think so.

Sorry, but using JB Weld is ridic if you ask me. I can't believe they would suggest it. That stuff won't hold up for long under the heat and pressure of the coolant system pushing against it (most cars run 15-18psi of pressure in the cooling system once at operating temperature). I tried using that stuff before for a different application and eventually it will leak. They should stand behind their crappy welds and pay to have it repaired correctly.

nevert00fast....more than you know.
ECS...I just ordered the GT2 Guards Red Alcantara shift boot/****. Great price!
1a1...I tend to agree but I definately did some resesrch before going the JB weld route. The consensus is that pinhole sealing w JB weld type products is OK and even done by Porsche mechanics at the dealerships. The factory uses some **** much less durable than JB to glue the coolant pipes in so JB Weld is probably considered an upgrade...if you can beliece that.
On the other side of that coin there definately is the fact that I the CUSTOMER was left holding the bag especially after just the removal of the parts from the motor (was already out) and welding was $1100! I agree there should have been a conversation about compensation for their (EVOMS) poor worksmanship.
Ill get more into my whole situation at the end of June when I strat my EVT775 6 months of ownership thread. Stay tuned lol.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM me. I have to ask, how did that 63/64' Continental behind you look ? Don't see too many of those any more, especially in the Ohio area.

Thanks all.
The only time I really ever make it to Houston is for the TX2K meet in March.
The rear wing is a Vorsteiner piece w a carbon blade. Really is the perfect piece imo.
