Looks nice... Any reason you went with 245-40-18 instead of 245-35-18 ? The 35 might not rub and also it would be much closer in terms of rolling diameters...

I believe you are like 2.5% off in the front and a whooping 4% in the rear... hope it doesn't mess with the DSC as there will be a difference in wheel speed between front and rear

BTW what rotors do you have in the front ?

Congrats!

r0nd3L · 01-19-2018, 11:10 AM

Question, are you sure the wheels are ET38 and not ET35? I only see the latter on the list of available FL-5 options.

I was going to ask the same question.

cxp213 · 01-19-2018, 08:57 PM

Damn, those look great, Shayan! Almost got them myself, and kinda wish I did now after seeing it on yours, lol.

Just curious, where is it rubbing in the rear?

Yeah, it sure seems like it. Their pricing is great and the grip is above average (although not competition worthy), but these are the loudest tires ever!

wntrsnowg · 05-31-2018, 05:38 PM

Are you running any spacers? Front adjustable camber plates?
