Thats a good question. I bought the car modified, so I don't know. But I'll check now. Thanks.

ya ... everytime I eat them ... that's what they turn into and come out in celebration of the porcelain throne. Oh to worship at the eminent white throne.

Man I'm encountering rust in the worst places ... any good rust converters for the motor block? I'm thinking about Zero Rust. (and please don't say POR-15, its too much work.)

This post was up here earlier but got removed (obviously sell violations) but I wanted to talk on a different point ...

have these great wheels ........., .............. i would try to let all you locals know. see what you think!
Now I need to find a link to a picture or two:
Let me try this:
Well ... just looking at it from a thinking point, "I think" money might have been an issue, but stretching out a tire like that is ... frankly ... really really funny.

No sidewall flex makes this guy handle like iceskates on dry pavement.
How many more g-racers are we going to have in Utah alone?
My stomach hurts from laughing so much, seeing these stretched out wonders on an Evo. I need to get a hold of your tire installer ... he's probably the best evar!

Came within 2 feet of being the 9th car in an 8-car pile-up this on I-15 this morning. Luckily I saw the first two cars swerving into my lane in the distance and hit my brakes. I then proceeded to watch in slow motion as I stopped from 65MPH to 0 as the cars in front of me piled up one after the other. Had to let up on my own brakes a little bit to keep the guy behind me from rear-ending me. I ended very gracefully stopping my car with 2 feet in front and 2 feet to spare behind me.

I-15 southbound past American Fork turns into a complete mess when it's wet and the sun comes up. The sun hits the wet pavement at the perfect angle to make all the lines disappear. Throw in the construction and meandered repainted lanes, and drivers are all over the place.

I took this picture to show wheel fitment, and used these tires for a about a month while gathering funds for a lot wider tire. Good to see you missed the whole point of the post though, and that the local hater force is still as strong as ever. If this makes your stomach hurt that hard from laughing, maybe you need to get out more.

Guys like this make me glad I don't live on the forums. funniest thing "evar".

That stretch isn't that bad. I seen a subie with way way waaaaaaaay worse stretch. The side walls were pretty much parallel with the rest of the tire. It just looked plan silly.

Sorry if my post was perceived as harsh. It was really hard to see the post simply because it was deleted. It should have gone in a sales part of the forum, but you probably didn't know that at first glance.
With the low amount of posts, I (mistakenly) didn't think you'd ever be back on.
I would have loved to see those rims on an Evo with a properly sized tire. It would have said much more advertising wise. However 'a' picture is better than 'no' picture.
Peace to you and your future motoring projects.

Lucky you, that would have sucked

Those lines are very hard to see in the wet & to top it off people still drive like idiots through there.

I'm just pissing everybody off ... so if you want a good laugh at my expense, you only need to read like the last two mebby three pages.

Can't wait for my new koil-obers to come in ... cheaparse suspension FTW! Until I can get these Ohlins rebuilt.

Anybody have K-Sports on their Evo atm?
