They are Bay Speed BSD Vented Side Skirts (IMPUL reps). I thought they flowed well with the vented fenders. Fitment was terrible and took a lot to fit along the sill, but pleased with final product.

No, roadrace. A6's. Think they're 315/30-19 front and 345/30-19 rear. Shamu has a couple of different threads going on with these tires in them.

So after reading what seems like countless pages I still have unanswered questions.

1st kudos to all the GREAT setups on here!

I am looking to replace my stock rubber this week and want to "expand" a little bit. I am considering the popular 265/35 285/36 RE-11's on my stock Rays.

Will I see/feel the difference in the OD decreasing .5" in the front and increasing .4" in the rear from stock. For some reason this doesn't sit well with me (little OCD) knowing my tires aren't the same OD.

I considered going 305/30 in the rear which would put both wheels at 26.3" OD. Will this tire fit properly? I heard someone mention that it may not increase the surface area since the tire will be constricted to the stock rim.

I will probably be purchasing wheels before I get new tires so I would like these to transfer over nicely.

I am running stock suspension/camber with no spacers.

THANKS!

I just feel I need to apply to much steering input to counter the wondering while driving at almost any speeds. Again it is not a huge deal but its noticeable.

PSI is about 35 all around. I've used the shoe polish method during autocross and tire preasure is spot on or I'm not driving hard enough...one of the two.

What do you mean by "...the nose of the car more closed"?

Thanks for the help!
Hi sorry for the late response lol. I mean the nose of the car more closed by being less twichy, the problem with that you will wear out the outside part of the tires more. Another thin I noticed is that you went from:
front stock 245 to 265
rear 275 to 285

so you increased te front width by more % wise than the rear, the car (in theory) will oversteer more. also you went from 40 profile up front to 35 and the rear stayed the same with 35 profile. Maybe that makes the car fel different to you. this means the front will be lower to the ground compared to stock, only in the front.
