There are no steelies that fit over the Brembos.
Look on Craigslist. There's plenty of 225/45/17 winter tires on there. They'll be a bit smaller than your stockers, but that'll be fine. You'll only be a mph or two off your speedo.
You don't need studs though. Blizzak WS-60's are the heat.

Evo is officially back in my possession. Man, it feels so different driving it compared to my truck, clutch is mad sensitive compared to my truck. Have some pics up in a bit of the engine bay, but this is exactly how i feel,

Hoping to get a detail once i get my meth kit installed and retuned and finally broken in. The spool up is actually alot sooner than me and Nick anticipated, considering i was running a FP Green, it is actually only a few rpms later 
My first time driving it in over a year, and i must say, the Shep first gear is freaking long. Reverse is a pain though to get in, hope i don't get into any issues like qwik, haha. The injectors are not yet scaled in so it idles really rough, died out a few times on the way home. The Exedy twin disc feels so light compared to my manual tranny in my truck. It's going to take a little used to again, haha. Like to thank Underground Performance for doing a great job even if it took alot longer than we all thought it would. Nick is the man, can't wait to actually get this badboy tuned. Will post up the full mod list later

Nick doesn't actually want me to hit boost since it only has a very conservative tune, only had to get it home before snow falls. He did hit 20psi a few times he told me, since that's were the wastegate pressure is at. I'm actually wanting a quieter exhaust now. My Greddy Ti is just too freaking loud. I can barely stand it now.

^Nice setup...should be good for some 10's. I've been looking at the PTE 6265 or HTA3582, but my budget is looking like I'll be sticking with a stock framed turbo, lol.

FP Black is out and has cranked out 630+hp. STM already ran a 10.2 i believe. Not sure if they have it out for the X though. Yeah 6265 is great. I was originally going to go w/a red last year but opted to go this route. Glad i did. Turbokits have risen in pricing since i got mine, haha. You should hit up ETS though for your X. Their pricing is great.

Stock frame FTW. I know CBRD is cooking up a turbo for the X, the BBK Full for the IX kicks *** so I've been told....
FP Black-One of Buschurs customers just ran 10.14

Thats Black is a badasss turbo but Robert@fp pretty much said no for right now to the X.
Someone just got a prototype BBK for the X...Chad is saying the turbo is capable of 370whp on his dyno with that turbo+ peeps been *****ing that the compressor wheel is not blue, lol.
Anyways, I just pulled my Blouch Dom. 2, from what I can see (pulled the exhaust housing off) none of the turbines have been affected in anyway, and no shaft play. The Turbo has less than 2,000 miles on it. So to anybody that knows any X's that might be interested in helping me test my DOM. 2 let me know...I'll install it, and if it works fine I'll trade them it for stock turbo+cash.
