going to try and stay in CS
I see nismosis is running 295 rivals, anyone know what rim set up he's running?
You may want to have a read through this thread:
Wheels and Tires for AutoX

Long story short, if you find a good lightweight set of 18" rims that are C-Street legal, and they're not $700 a wheel, please let us all know what they are ;-)

I run 275/35R19 RS3s front and back on my stock wheels.

Yeah, i think im gonna run cheap knockoff's 9" all the way around and just be happy with it.
Have another question for you guys, I've been running a FS srt crossfire for 3 years, and haven't needed to look at the rules since there isn't much made for these cars, anyway someone asked a question about running nismo shocks/strut bar in a sport 370, these parts are offered from nissan with the sport package, wouldn't this be legal then in CS?

The Nismo sway bars are NOT on the sport package and therefore make using both of them illegal in CS. Can't remember off hand if the shocks are the same between the Sport and Nismo.

You're right they are not the same but they are both options from nissan when building a car online, that's my confusion, years ago you could run any part ad long as it was an option from the factory
