Why did you go for such a high sidewall? Looks good though.



Now all you need is a motor! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

because they are 255/50's, 40s or even 35s would have been a better

choice but im guessing he got them used and took what he could get.



you put 255/50s on the front? I think they will rub

I have 225/5016Rs on the front, they don't rub.



Robs right, I saved a $130 dollars on a tire with 100 miles..

8' wide they are. I have not weighed them yet. I think they are the same weight as an s4 t2 rim ( heavy :( )

If they are as heavy or ligther, i'll be hunting for a pair for track use.
