Default Fikse's are here! Now tires....?

Got a set of FM10's on ebay for $1800. Lips just all repolished. They look great. Sizes are 8.5 front and 10.75 rears (why not 11..don't know).

I DE the car 10+ days a year, and currently run PS2's in stock size 225 and 265 on my 99. I am think of going to 235 front and 295 rear with PS2's again. Any suggestions on different sizes? I know some people run 245 in front, but I am not sure I can put a 315 on the back with a 10.75 rim.

This is also my street car, so Cup tires are not yet an option...I wish.

Thanks for any input.
Adam

If you want to reduce the under steer a little, you can run the 245's on the front and 295's on the rear.

What is the off-set on the wheels ? That will make a big difference on what size tyres you can use especially if they are 19's

You might want to make sure the offset will work first. I think I asked the offset on this set when the auction was on ebay, and one of them didn't seem like it would work (just can't remember what it was).

Great looking wheels and terrific price. I bought a set of the Fikse 18" Profile 5S 8.5 x 18 +44mm offset front, and 11 x 18 +64mm offset rear which cost approx $4600. My tires are 235/40-18 and 295/35-18.
