I was wondering what the biggest tires you can fit on a FD? I currently am running 275, could you fit 305-315's? I don't want to start breaking thinks either so I might just keep what I have and deal with the wheel spin. Just curious.

285s on aftermarket rims are the widest most run without fender flares.

j9fd3s 06-02-2003 10:41 AM

315's you need coil overs and trailing links, plus you need to either roll the rear fenders or cut the lip off.

toddp31 06-02-2003 02:08 PM

I have a Re wide body so I should be able to fit 315 then?

vosko 06-02-2003 02:09 PM

hell yeah even 335's !

toddp31 06-02-2003 02:11 PM

why not, then I will probaly break my diff/ axles..... oh well I guess they weren't strong enough!

toddp31 06-02-2003 02:12 PM

t-88 1.3bar, they still will spin!

vosko 06-02-2003 03:14 PM

yeah my T78 @ 1 bar spins my 275's pretty good!

damn vosko, werent' those drag radials??? that shiet looked like a floating tube!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png but I bet traction wasn't an issue... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Srce 06-03-2003 12:07 AM

335's are pretty ******* wide, are you sure you need THAT MUCH traction? I mean, those tires will cost big money, big hop, and potentialy big problems!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

toddp31 06-03-2003 09:51 AM

toddp31 06-03-2003 12:07 PM

Thanks Vosko, now is trying to match power to looks! I never ends!

jspecracer7 06-04-2003 09:15 AM

AAAAKKK....Yankee plates :P What side skirts are those? stock? RE Amemiya?



Thank God I didn't get that same bumper...then we'd have some similar looking cars...lol..

toddp31 06-04-2003 09:25 AM

RE Amemiya side skirts, the person before me spent way to much money on body work. I think I am going to change the rims for bronze Advan RG's, I don't like the Andrew Racing's. jspecracer7 you going to 7 day?

Fd3BOOST 06-04-2003 09:30 AM

Todd you need some engine bay bling man to match that ride;)

toddp31 06-04-2003 09:46 AM

It is a work in progess right now, just put completely new eng in with a t-88 and all the other stuff! I have to get it tuned, Dragon will be helping me out in that area.

vosko 06-04-2003 10:07 AM

vosko 06-04-2003 01:39 PM

toddp31 06-04-2003 01:46 PM

Can't...work's a bitch about leave right now...we got too many projects going on and are short on manpower. You should come down to Okinawa and just give me those side skirts...:P...I'll trade you my stockers for them;)...lol...
