dont put a 285 on it. It wont be enough to protect the rim. At least a 295, maybe even 305. There are many 295 options out there.

I wouldnt get falken. buy bfg, goodyear, etc.

for the 200cc heads and cam package your going to need something real sticky. Real Sticky.

Nitto makes their dr with a harder sidewall the dr II. They also come in the 305/35/18 size, perfect your what your going to need on the street. Think they around 250 each.


Oh, and BTW, we need those on car pics asap.
