New parts teaser...

4corners · 06-11-2011, 05:24 PM

Update on the new wheels and tires.

Wow. These tires and wheels completely change the car for the better. The original 17" run flats are just no comparison. Tires and wheels should be the first thing to improve handling and performance. Then work from the ground up. Build the foundation first. However you want to put it.

My suspension is stock. The AWD floating feeling is 99% gone. The rear with 275's is SO planted. The front pushes slightly with some appropriate under-steer, but barely. I have some 12mm spacers to put on to see if that brings the handling closer to neutral. It inspires so much more confidence. It makes it what you would expect it to be.

Front 235/35/19 on 8.5x19 35 offset, rear 275/30/19 on 9.5x19 35 offset.

With this sizing the revolutions per mile are exact. 818 for both 0% difference.

I live on a dirt road. Pointless. Speeding through puddles works much better.
