Something a little different

Nice ride Curby... I am not big on flares, but I think you just won me over. That car is pure sex... luv the stance. I bet that is a looker on the street. (add some pics to your profile)

the rear are 275/40ZR18...... Yes i could have gone the next width up, but I was worried about rubbing and I ordered the tires online, thus it would have been difficult to return if to big.... my next set will be the next width up in size..
that being said... on the track when i slide out, it is 100% neutral slide, the rear does not break loose any sooner or later than the front. so if i go into a slid, it is completely sideways, front or back stay inline..
