Need Help With my Next Tire Setup..

Endgame · 11-20-2010, 06:11 PM

O.K. I stepped away and thought about all this and see what you all are saying. This is what happens when you have no idea about something, try to understand it, and am sick on meds! I am thinking I will go with a close to Nismo setup with the 245/40 fronts and 285/35 rears.

I still ask this question, and maybe it should be under the suspension section:

Will a 245 F / 285 R with a sway bar kit adversly affect turn in/understeer, or cause the rear end to break loose easily?

I ask this as the Nismo Z upgraded sways increase the front by only 15% while the rear is increased 50%. As I understand, I can set the Stillen sways on the softest setting which would mean a 30% increase in stiffness in front, and about 37% towards the rear. What should I expect?
