Possibly,IF it is not RAINING,LOL!

Here are the tires I have decided to go with.They fit ALL the requirements I look for on a street car that gets driven on sunny days doing the speed limit .......
a 'Drop dead sexy' tread pattern,LOL!

Nitto Invio's
front-235/30/20
rear-305/25/20







Now I await the arrival of the wheels.....

One thing for sure IS....you really do not realize how wide the rears are on these cars until you get a look at the tire when it is NOT on the car....D-A-M-N !

Great, then let me borrow the new Bling wheels and tires and I will try them in rain and snow (if it comes) and write a review for all those at 6 speed.

I would LOVE to let you try them Ed...BUT I will be too busy cleaning and polishing them while they are off the car......besides I would HATE for you to like the 'Poser' look rather than the 'Race car' look,LOL!

BESIDES,if I let you use them we will NEVER know the results to this "flat-spotting" you mentioned earlier,LOL!


DPE just sent me pics of the wheels tonight.....AND yes they assure me that the wheels will be at my customs broker tomorrow....!

Anyway here is the pics that were JUST sent to me....

Yeah she does,LOL....

I chose that size because I have it on my other set of wheels and like it!
I have seen a 245's rub on the radiator hose in the fender well when turning lock-to-lock and the 235's DO NOT!
