Retail of 245-35-20 is $306.99 compared to $259.99 for 245-40-19

They had no info about release date for rears (if it happens at all)

Kinda stupid question, but if you add a 5mm spacer in the rear, should you buy new extended lugs too?
JUST GET THE LUGS and thank me later.
if you never had them on your previous cars, you are MISSING out big time.
it's like once you use impact gun, you never use tire irons again.
if i dont have impact guy, i wont change tires. i call AAA. or just sit and wait for wife. studs are the same.

Damn it Mooty.. .I'm in 10K already and I don't even have the car yet lol!
haha, then you dont want to know how much i already spent.

if those tires kept you on track ;-)
it has to be good

More importantly... does your wife have a sister? And can she do corner balancing & track alignment?

I am about to do the stud conversion. Instructions say torque studs to just 30 ft lbs.. I feel like the studs are going to fly out of the uprights on track! This will not happen, right? Gulp

Usually the studs are installed with thread locker, so there should be no concerns of that. They use studs on the factory race cars, so this is a proven design...
