yea thats too tall of a tire. car looks awesome though. Lowering didnt slow me down at all. if anything it made me faster. my MPH before I lowered it was 106 and after I lowewred her it was 109.5. I think it made her a lil more aerodynamic. I'm not really sure if its gopnna hurt me on the launches yet though. I was using old, worn-down 245s so I had no traction off the line. pulled a 2.029 60ft. M/Ts are in the mail

So for 18x9.5 you need a 275/35 for the front? Same for the back? I'm ordering mine next week hopefully. Car looks great by the way now just lower that sucker.
