Hoosier A6's...

I hear you on the fatter rubber ... but would have to buy two sets of aftermarket wheels to handle the wider tires size. Was trying to keep two sets of stock 18 rims and run as fat as I can, safely, on them. I think Doran is running 245f/275r and they go pretty fast.

But because this would be a few sizes up from stock tire size, was wondering if under track stress, if they would be safe.
