Yeah, it's the same set that is in the classifieds. Nice, if I had a late offset car and was a fanatic I'd be all over them.

Yeah, I know, but that would go against my spacer credo and all. Really, I already have 5 sets of wheels and they are all early offset. I'd hate to introduce a bastard set that requires spacers at this point in the game, unless I want to get rid of all of them and start over with late-offset wheels and the permanent spacers......

(anyone else think that rear tire size on those 9's in the ad is too tall?)

Yes Tifo, 50's is to tall, should be 40 in rear and 45 in front. Or 45 rear 50 front.

The rears are WAY too tall. If someone buys them you will want a 245/45R16 in the rear and a 225/50R16 in the front. Cool find though.

Turbo Cup shipped with a 255 rear tire, aspect ratio either 40 or 45 (can't remember). 255/50 is gigantic. 245/45 or 265/45 would be better fits IMHO

255/40R16 NLA and there is not an RMA spec for it any more. It can be built, no problem but there is no market for it.

Ahh yes, bad thing about having a 9x16 rim. Even thou you can put wider tires on it than 245, good luck finding them.

Agreed, although I still think 245's are best on a 9" rim rather than an 8" rim. There is too much buldge and wiggle on a 8" rim with that size on it, IMHO. I know others will disagree, though.
