I see a lot of you on here running some damn high HP numbers so how are you getting this power down to the street? rims and tires wise?

At 550 WHP my teg hooked up OK on 235/60/15 MT ET Street Radials by the top of third gear. It's a FWD car, you're going to have shitty traction on the street any way you cut the cake.

after about 280whp-290whp no true street tire is going to hold 2nd gear. I run 225/50/15 BFG drag radials on 269trq and I'll completly hook 2nd gear. I also run good suspension which is another key.

Do the 235/60/15's run without moding the fenders or anything? How about on a lowered car?

I haven't gotten to drive it yet, b/c of the lack of an engine/trans/fuel setup/etc... but there is no way in hell they'd work on a lowered car, it has to be raised, at least an inch or more from stock height... depending on your spring rate of course. I'm running 10k springs in the front, and plan to have the fender about 3/4-1" off the tire, the tire is 26.1" tall so that puts your fender (at the top of the arch) about 27" from the ground. Measure your lowered car and see where it's at
