Beat me to it. Wasn't sure if he was referring to his Evo X or his BMW.

Hi Thread,

Welcome back to 2005.

Please search. This topic has been beaten to death. Became a zombie. Shot in the head. Came back for a sequel. Beheaded. Then a prequel on how it all came to be. Spun off into a miniseries. And now is a graphic comic book.

Thanks,
The Management.

255/40 all day long. 245/45's on a lowered car, or even taking a turn to too hard with the suspension not stiff enough and you can say goodbye to your fender lining...ask me how I know. I've been running 255/40 on BBS every set ever since that happened. zero issues other than a lot of grip.
