Sounds like someone cant drive and is covering it up with the "I have street tires so digs are stupid" and then refuses to buy tires.

This is also giving you the benefit of the doubt you own the gt100, which you don't.

I say good day. ~Fez

Same drive shaft I have. Imagine racing that GT500 with what have now. Pulling is what you would do

Get some welds. Lighter then the Racestars. I sold my racestars before left TX. Will buy some welds after new year.

What ones you want?

gonna run a staggered setup? 18x9.5's up front and 18x10's out back? how big can you go in the rear before you have to roll your fenders? My CTS-V has 285's in the rear and no roll...

yea staggered. 18x10 on a 295-305 tire and an 18x9 with a 25" 245 on the front. Going small on the front to reduce rotational mass while still having enough tire to turn.
