If it can clear a BBK it should clear the ls400/tt brakes.

Hey i need a little help with my next tire decision.

Im running 225 40 18s in the front on a 18x10 and i really wanna go down to 35 series walls.

I just wanna know if anyone is running that size. I just dont know if they will look too small on the SC.

Thanks.

Thanks guys. I'll take better pics later. Front end is still on progress. Minor lowering and more camber to match with the rear. Rear is pulled 10-20mm and fenders paint is a bit f''cked up. Front is just rolled.

That pic was taken after a late spring snow storm and I had already installed summer wheels. Pretty damn slippery without spiketires. Handing is pretty good on snow, noting really to complain. Open differential sucks, but I reacently replaced a welded one. Much more fun.

KingPhilip, what do you mean? Pos tires?

Achillies are POS tires.. Thats why they are so cheap. I drive in the rain i feel my car sway left and right.
