doesnt make sense? is this a Gran TUrismo setup?

of course, Slicks on the front and some low drag (friction, i dont know what they describe it)skinnies on the rear.

MT 24.5x9x13 on Bogart Pro 4's @10psi for GSR turbo
M&H 23x9.5x13 on Bogart Pro 4's @10psi for CRVTEC

I tried to mount my friend's M&H slicks with the CRVTEC EK on the back and the skinnies on the front. It looks pretty tight but i didn't set the car back down.

space savers are not allow. The tires are not rated for higher speeds and you will fail tech.

Some of the mustang drivers are using the wheels, but with different tires. Most space saver tires are only rated for 55-60 mph. The steel wheels weigh about the same anyways.
