Looking good.. I have been looking at these tires to replace my nexens trying to find something with more street grip and all the reviews I read say these are pretty good for the price..

I don't remember, but I'll try to remember to measure one of my spare rims tomorrow when I go to work.

This is what people have been telling me. I can't wait to find out for myself. Unfortunately I'm waiting for replacement twin disk parts so I haven't even driven on them yet. I also went up a size from 205/45 R16, so I'm dying to see what they do for my trap speeds. I bang the 7750 rev limiter in third at the 1/8th mile, and wring out 4th pretty bad at the 1/4 mile, so this should be a nice improvement.

Unfortunately all the dragstrips in my area are done for the season, and the last solo auto-x was October 6th.

~+37mm

Doh! Owned by reading. The back of the wheel says my measurements were off. They're 38mm.

Cool, I have the same sized rims. I just need to loose the captive rotors.

Whatever you do, don't loosen your rotors while driving! :lol:
