Why are you going to have to run so much camber?

My understanding is that the top of the wheel has to be slanted aggressively inward to avoid hitting the fender/fender liner up front. Unless he's going to pull/roll the front as well.

I have the star specs in the standard size , these tires are very noisey, but they have crazy grip. If I were to do it again, I would jump on the Nitto NT05, Advan AD08, or Hankook RS3's. All these tires are full of Win! Star Specs really have the edge on price though.

LOL, sorry man. I was thinking the matte blacks, but those gunmetals are sexy.

Probably ordering them over lunch if the vendor gets back to me.

Hmmm, maybe i will do the nt-05's.

One note, my exhaust is so damn loud i doubt i could hear anything. Are the nt-05's as good? Or worth the extra money?

I think the edge that they have is in tread life. The NT05's look really good to me but I wonder if they'd even last a Summer.

Well with my setup i am sure i will be getting tires often, lol. So I will try the star specs first I guess thinking about it more. And I can't imagine hearing tires over my car.

They are a shaved tire so they won't last as long. The AD08 and Kuhmos get good word of mouth, along with the RE11. Lots of good tires so hard to go terribly wrong...

It is splitting hairs really at that point, I just have not heard as many complaints on noise on the nt05's as much as the star specs. I knew they were loud going in, I was more focused on the performance per dollar factor.

Can wait to see the gunmetal rfp1's, that is about the only color rim I like on silver other then black. They will look really good on red as well.

NT05 is shaved? Are you talking about the NT05r? I am pretty sure you can get the NT05 in standard tread depth.
