Don't mix-match tires. You'll want 4 of the same brand/model. Otherwise your cornering will be very odd, and mixed traction on mixed surfaces - unsafe.

thank you! ill get all 4 nitto 555r 2 extreme, think ill place that order now. I went with ssr type-f 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +15 flat black. Better for racing and cheaper, plus they are not rare so no worries if they get dinged

I was curious what you had ended up going with since you were letting the Gen's go... The boxes gave me an idea, but wasn't 100% sure.

I demandz pics!

I'm looking at getting the Michelin 970AS' if you're looking for an All Season tire, might wanna give those a peek.

no, just want a hardcore semi-sticky tire. This car isnt my DD no more and im PROBABLY going to get a trailer for it, expensive tires and nails don't do good in you pockets. My car just got shipped and no camera, as you can see in my album I have A LOT of work ahead of me

I'm looking forward to seeing them on your car.

Now im looking for coilovers(hks) camber kit and oil cooler. I'll be set after that

There's a slightly used set of KWv3's for sale right now. Unless you want a new set, they're the best I've seen. I use them myself.

Right now we've got SPC and SPL camber arms, SPC is what I have and they took the 'offroading' I did and no bends. I've heard some people having problems with the SPL's coming loose on track events..

And for Oil Coolers, the Z1 kit is the best bang for your buck with the option to just upgrade your cooler size later on.
