Blah, I like the akebonos better!

My G has brembos and they are small and not as great as they seem to be. At least not until I got endless pads in there!

Juruki- looks good!

got new tires today! Bridgestone Potenza RE-11

Front 265/35/19

Rear 285/35/19

I almost went with the Pilot Super Sports for their higher treadwear but this forum made me change my mind and get RE-11's

edit: i think these tire sizes fit the sports wheels much better than the OEM setup

BeachZTT · 07-25-2011, 08:24 PM

Ken- that's the right idea... one step at at a time. I have been shooting seriously for about 5 years now and am not even close to where I want to be.

They look awesome.

So glad I went with the 285s!!! Going to try and get them mounted in the next couple of days.

Nice! So 285's fit just fine over the OEM sports wheels??? They don't overhang too bad?

happytheman · 07-25-2011, 09:16 PM

@Juruki - Are you running spacers, cuz you're new setup looks truly nice bro!

kenchan · 07-25-2011, 10:07 PM

Fire here is wat I have.

H&R 25mm spacers.

Dembflyr · 07-25-2011, 10:12 PM

I get home late tonight and I'm looking forward to a nice long kenchan tomorrow.

Supposed to be nice and sunny too.

BeachZTT · 07-25-2011, 10:46 PM

Nice shot kenchan...

kenchan · 07-25-2011, 11:00 PM

Hahaha looks dreamy.

FromG2Z · 07-25-2011, 11:55 PM

Damn that looks great, those are the exact sizes I was thinking about. Where did you buy the tires from? I'm sure the RE-11s must feel amazing and offer a huge amount of grip!

Thx Juruki.

I was just worried that the "meat" would stick out too far and over the rim. Also, theoretically, wouldn't handling be affected somewhat? (though maybe miniscule), since now you would have more "give" and "flex" in the tire, not supported by the rim??? granted it's only 10mm.....
