Default Mickey Thompson 315/30/18's DR






Finally got traction...can't wait to take it to the track. Has to be lowered now...looks like it's lifted.

Looks good, but your tires are on backwards.

Looks good but, the wheels look like they need more meat on the sidewalls and yes they're backwards.

Yup! follow the rotation arrow on the tire. Change it quickly before the tires are screwed up. My 315 Mickeys DR didn`t last very long.

I hear they definitely last longer if you install them the right way

Not bad. +1 on needing more sidewall.

I'll have to measure. Going to the track tomorrow will see how they do!

Sweet, cant wait to see pics of the new stance.

EDIT: Good luck! Sorry, i meant the width of the rim if you know it. I got a thread going trying to figure out which tires to choose for my 18x10.5" z06 replicas.
