Nice. I am running the same size tire on the rear. I have a 17 x 8.5 wheel. They look great!

T1-s were $86 each at EdgeRacing.com - I wanted to stay under $100/tire.

That'll be a nice setup man. Post some pics when you get 'er all together.

FedEx, UPS, and the USPS are all very familiar with my house. Since I started this engine/suspension project, I perpetually have at least one box in the mail.

hahaha I bet you'll fight him for the springs

Yeah, lately, there have been a shortage of H&R springs.. i ordered mine over 2 months ago and their finally being delivered...

I think they got a shipment from europe to the H&R center (washington)about a week and a half ago, so now all the backorders are being shipped...like mine

I got my H&R springs as part of a deal on eBay - $389 for H&R Sports and Bilstein Sport Shocks that were only used for 6 months.

[Garageaholic]

Yeah, but they were used, i'm talking about going through a vendor.... brand new springs..

BTW, i saw deals like that on ebay, but i didnt' know they were used....

you don't understand how aspect ratios work, do you?

Eh, I guess I was mistaken. :D

[rwh11385]

absolutely not.

completely ignorant. i tried to explain it, yet he cannot pick it up.

[rwh11385]

The size. They're going to look like fan belts wrapped around your wheels. I would have gone with a little more meat, especially since the H&R sports aren't going to slam you.

damn ignorants. everyone who has said such

if you haven't seen a 215-40 on a 17, shut the fuck up. you don't know what you are talking about. grapedrink, others.

[Jand3rson]

Stop fucking calling me ignorant, Robert. I thought that I understood it, but like I said, I was mistaken.

[rwh11385]

okay, welcome to e30tard where everyone should interject their misinformation and misguided opinions.

yes, 215-40s suck ass and no one should run them.... coming from people who never have.

[NC325iC]

ok so tell me if i have this right the first number is in millimeters and measures width of the tire? then second is a percentage of that width and is sidewall? and third is inner diameter.

is this correct

[Garageaholic]

EXAMPLE: 215/40ZR 17

the tread width is 215mm
The sidewall is 40% of the teadwidth (215*.4=86mm)
The third number is 17, which is the diameter of the wheel that the tire is being mounted to....

[Jand3rson]

Heeter, find where I said that 215/40's suck ass and no one should ever run them.

My opinion about them not lookign good appears to have been wrong. I apologize, I was mistaken. Let it go.
