Clever photography Sam...... I'd be embarassed to show that ugly ass bumper'd rear-end too. The whipple gave her a heart of gold now it's time for the boob job. Tick tock, tick tock....

The minimum rear rim is 11.5", the stock rear size, but the fronts are too narrow, requiring a 9" rim on the front. I think the stock front rim is 8.5". I would expect better cornering with a larger rims, especially on the fronts.

This tire is also available in the stock front size.

HHGT, Nice find!! Curious what you consider "warmed up"? Are we talking track temps or warmed up on the street?

:thumbsup

+1

BTW, according to Tire Rack specs, these tires (rear) are only .3" shorter than the Goodyears.

Street warm (10 minutes of city driving) vice cold tires out of the garage.

How about clearence for the cars that have been lowered?

Will these fit in the cars that have been lowered? I dropped mine a 1/2 to 3/4. Can't remember exactly. Have you driven them in the wet yet?

Heritage Bruce Has his car lowered - I believe much more than stated.

I live in California and I avoid the wet concrete after the sprinklers go on. I can tell you that the rear tires were originally designed for the Enzo - Sooo I would say they will do well.

Here is a pic of my Bridgestone Potenenzas (same spec as Bruce and Sam's) sitting on the rack, ready to go on early next week. Look at the difference in overall diameters between front and rear...

Wow! Big difference there.

I guess I will give them a try as my stock tires are currently cooked. Just have to bring the VBox every time to keep an accurate reading of speed.

Is that from the tires, or TT? :lol

I've had the same setup as HHGT for about 2 weeks (1K miles) and agree with him 100%. After the whipple, 1st and 2nd were not very usable. Now I could use more hps. The 345/35 is the closest tire height to the F1s available on stock rims. The revs per mile is 728 vs 722 stock (basically in the noise). The treadwear rating is 140 and they hookup nicely.

I have a side view picture but the file is 2.3M and will not upload.
