I hear the tyres won't be available 'till Sept. Any1 got any more info?

 

is anyone running 225/50 .. im running them on 15 inch rota 7 inch rims and i had to roll the crap out of my fenders to drop the car.. and remove front fender lining??? anyone else.

and my car is still 5.5 inches from jack points

what is the stock height of a civic anyways from jack point i have a 94 cx

 

I run the 225/50/15... and waiting for the 225/45/15 to come out!

I didnt have to do any more fender mods than I already had..

 

thtas wierd i had like 4 finger gap in front and on some hard bumps at the track it rubbed my fender lining so i just eventually took it off.. now i am inthe process of dropping so i have no finger gap and had to roll the fender a lot.

first, I have 4.75 in (of clearance)at the lowest jack point. I have about 600 in.lb. springs in the front and 800in.lb. in the rear. The rims I use are 15x7 with a 38 mm offset. I have no fender liners in the car at all. I rolled the rear fender lip (a long long time ago to clear street rims). I rub in the front ONLY during full a full lock turn. The rear, they rub on the swing arm and the fender during very hard cornering

 

that sounds about right. i have almost the same setup 550 f 750 in rear.
rub on rear trailing arm , i ended up taking out all the fender linign also. i have to check my car height again maybeim at 4.5 inches?

 

is this a track car or a auto X ? i think 4.5" would be to low for a track car with thoes spring rates.. I would bottem out..

Good! Then I'm not going to lend you my race tires anymore!

 

Sigh...it's the same thing. Every time. Toyo promises availability, actually good sizing for our cars, whatever. And either they don't deliver, or they deliver and can't supply any two weeks after the announcement. Meanwhile, they signed a hundred spec tire deals with Spec Miata, Honda Challenge, etc, and...check it out! No tires.

In my very humble opinion, the pattern has been established for some time now.

 

Spiff doesn't have to run Toyo's.......Hoosiers do last !!!
