Thanks, I'm talking to Dave@1320 now... Trying to decide if i want to go 17x7 or 17x9.5" front for better steering/braking... Thoughts?

I'm by no means a tire sizing expert, but because the TA is very front heavy, I stayed close to factory width and size. Since I gave up my Diavel, I use the TA to drive in tail with my motorcycle friends with ease. So I guess it all comes down to how you use your car and what you expect out of it. My TA handles like it's on rails. I have read many post where people are also very happy with the 7" width also. This combination could be lighter?

I'm thinking about doing 15x10 & 17x8 set up... Found that they make 17x8s in their catalog, so hopefully 1320 can get back to me and confirm that.
How do you like the new MT et street SS?

Been meaning to update pics. Weather is good today so had to drive the car to work. So have haven't had any problems with the 17x7 s up front. But not taking sharp corners either.

This one not too good. Just switched over to Samsung over apple. Still learning how to use phone. Was with iPhone 5 for a good while.

Looks damn good man. Love the black with white theme. 17x7's up front is the perfect compromise if you ask me. I kick myself of going with 17x9.5's up front. Wish I'd have gone with my first instinct and bough the 17x7's.

I would go 17x7...hell I went 17x4.5 with a hoosier 26 x7.5 pro street radial and the car drives and handles fine.
