rwj383, :lol: :lol: Thanks! :cheers:

mrkln, I like my women freaky!! :lol: :lol: Thanks! :cheers:

Rob, Thanks! :cheers:

Diablo, Hell no!! :D BTW when will Dinan get some "upgrades" for that pig of yours. :lol: I am seriously thinking about swapping my 4.4 for one. Thanks! :cheers:

Vetter, You are correct sir. I have already talked to Jayson about it and they will be done when the wheels get in. Have Ben E-mail me. Thanks! :cheers:

Hammer, I am having some tire problems with the rear. There is no 315 in a 20' wheel ... I must either tub or go down in diameter. :cry Thanks! :cheers:

Dave, Be patient grasshopper. One must seek enlightenment before realizing true horsepower gains. :lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks! :cheers:

Check out mine, 275/30/19's and 285/30/20's. I think they fit quite nicely. :D

whip, Thanks!! :cheers:

Godspeed, That is sooo right. I am going to tub and try 345 size tires with the 19' set-up. I wanted to stay with a larger tire/wheel but the 20' has no realistic options above the 285 width. With a 19' I can at least go out to 345. I am sure that, with the small sidewall (30) the launch is next to impossible, but my only other option was 20s. I figure the 345 can't hurt. :D

BTW I know the 18 is for performance and the 19 & 20 is for looks arguement is valid, but here in Hawaii there is no real serious race track anyway. At 2AM I am asleep so the "Midnight Race" scene goes on without me. :lol: :lol:

I need to add "Certified Dyno/Garage/Show queen to my sig. :jester :lol: :lol:

Those pictured are Baer Drilled and Slotted. The new package will have the Dilusi "Big Brakes". The Baer set up was problem free, no warpage but the car was not raced in a serious way so I can not comment on them under extremes. The look good though :D :D
