Buy an NA, pick from a couple different makers, profit. Or just buy that NA in the classifieds that already has all the AK wide body bits and a fastback transfer your parts and sell the NB. Probably end up cheaper than buying a pair of fenders. :P |
maybe if you didn't use my tire thread for ur wide body you'd get better answers. Anyone else have something useful to contribute?
Emilio, if guys run 275 slicks on the 15x9 how is a 245 too wide? My fenders are rolled and lightly pulled |

No one really runs the 275s on 15x9s anymore, most people are on the 15x10s now and some are even moving to the 15x11s. My fenders are cut to shit now to fit them and flared a pit with pliers. The plan over the winter is to craft completely new carbon/kevlar fenders because I dont trust that autokonexion can make me a set of aero fenders this decade.

I've been contemplating putting 17x275's on my NA, getting beaten by an NA 350 in traction was frustrating. I think I'll wait for the 2016 model and trade up :P

Hey so what about this, again, a street car, but I like to have fun. I don't know if the RC-1 will get hot enough on the street
225/45/15 RC-1 $155ea 225/45/15 RS-3 $115ea For a 15x9 UL Thoughts? |

Yes. I'm not sure if DOT approved means it's just ok to go to the track, or if it's usable on the street.

DOT approved means its legal on the street.

The 225 RS3v2 is a pretty well rounded tire. They don't have the best feel, but they are the fastest, most drivable ultra summer tire. One rain shower will ruin your Maxxis day, leave them to hpde's.
I liked the Rival, until I tried the RS3v2. It was much better driving 10/10th, I was immediately faster autoxing the RS3v2. For reference I disliked the v1. |
Funny cause I kinda like my V1. I dunno, they're old. Maybe I'll get the V2 in the spring. Just wanted to see if I could get any more grip for the street.
