hi mate have run before 245/35/20s and had problems but thru all my research the smaller diameter 30/20s should allow room to standard shock tower and offset with these wheels should be perfect one thing i didnt mention is the only reason i went for the 225s was to act as a bit of a front runna for the drags bit of a toss i know but you get that!!! still yet to decide to remove big brakes and go for a proper front runna combo for the aim of a 9 sec pass????? cheers

thats the plan will be a shame to remove the vz r8 brakes which might be up for sale ?? maybe???? might look at settin up suspension a little better for the strip also been driven around as is with et streets on back just as it runs for last month or so its crazy love it!!!!!

Will be interested in the brakes if they are for sale

hi fitted new bigger 100mm thick intercooler today to try and help intake temps when boost is wound up!!! went for a spin as is to check hose connections other cars were like wtf haha!!!! cheers

yeh mate it already had 10mm or so cut out had to trim the extra 25mm+ a bit extra for clearance also extra 25mm out of front bar and play with hoses to get them to line up properly!!! cheers

I went from a 75mm to a 100mm Intercooler and it made quite a difference to intake temps, well worth doing.

hi fitted stock brakes and arp wheelstuds so i could run the new f/runnas ran the wagon last night first pass @14psi smoked em big time and worst axle tramp ever short shifted 2.4sec 60 ft 12.3 @130mph next run@14psi 1.65 60ft hit 7000rpm went for second huge bang scared the shit out of me!!! $200 tilt tray home!!!shitt happens!!!! looks tuff anyway with the prostars???

ouch..... bad luck mate, is that the only thing that broke?

Still a little bit of metal holding on, could have driven it home ;)

Shit happens mate, good fuses to have, saves the rest of your driveline. Take a spare next time :)
