looks nice, couldn't you have gone with 315's and had no rubbing issues?

I dont know...possibly.

20mm isnt a big deal as far as looks but can make a big differance in the rubbing department...the 335s would rub all over and these have a good bit of clearance everywhere.

I like em but I really like the extra phat tires u used to have on the back

They were 335s...these are 295s

Its like a half inch smaller...but they dont rub so im happy.

Thats understandable, I guess A half inch is a lot inmy eyes though

295 is a good size. They grip good, and fill out the wheel wells without rubbing too much. mine only rub when I play at the track.

Yep, when you go to big it has a negative affect on traction

putting a 335 in a 10 inch rim is too much IMO.

a 295 seems to be the perfect size

Looks sweet Justin.

Honestly, I like i both with the FR's, and with the Cobras. Car looks nice though.

Is the front higher than it used to be?

Yea, I like both...but I like the lip on the fr's and the chrome always looks pimp.

Yea, the front is a bit higher.

I used to have no iso's...then put the bottom iso back on the other day....It raised the front like 1/4-1/2 inch or something....but it still hasnt settled so it might sink down a bit more.


I did this becuase the extra 1/4 inch of clearance should prevent my tires from rubbing the fenders when im going like 80 around on ramps...lol

Although I may not have any problems with the 245s vs the 275s I used to run.

Looks decent, FR500s have never really done it for me though. Honestly i liked the 03s you had before a lot better.
x2, but the FR's still look good and your car pulls them off perfectly.

lol..I wish, but they are heavy as hell.  I dont think I will be going anywhere too fast with them.  The f1s get great traction though...so thats nice to be able to get on it and not spin.

I liked it better with the smoked tails too...

I like the 03's better...and i usually hate 03's.


Damn, we got a tough crowd here!

Thats ok though...I did what I did for my reasons.

The 03s looked great...better in pictures that in person.  They were beat up and the clear was cracking all over them.  They also were too damn big and would rub, front and back.

These fr's are in mint condition and I personally like the look of them better than the traditional 5 spoke.

My tail lights are slightly smoked...but the picture makes them look lighter than they are cause there is direct sunlight on them.

I didnt like the blacked out look anymore...+ I want insurance to cover my bumper when the day comes that some moron plows me in the ass!
