You can fit some SERIOUS tired underneath a Kappa

[Spike]

Yeh i need to talk around and find out what is the biggest that will fit w/o rolling. Also what width and offset to run on the wheels.

315s IIRC

Stock as a rock

Atm Im looking to go more 18x9 or 18X10 all around and 265 or 275 all around. I want to try to stay square as far as tire size/wheel width being stock power. Might rock diff offsets on the front and back wheels though. The main trick seems to be getting the offsets right. Werks seems to have that down pretty well with all the CCW's they sell. Plan to hit them up as far as widths and offset go. I just dont have the baller cash for all that CCW noise.

Maven knows(not shocking I know)

But he was telling me awhile back something along the lines of huge. That's what she said

Remember this with offset tires:

What you gain in straight line stability, you lose in turn in

Larger tires have more of a tendency to have tread squirm. Larger does not automatically always mean better

315's on 18x11 with 50mm offset one inch spacer in rear to clear frame.

I posted that weird

18x9 w\265 all around car

or

18x10 w\275 all around car

[BLAZIN07SS]

well that red car's fitment doesn't look terrible or anything

[Spike]

Kinda want to get the exhaust noisy before the TOTD drive

It looks sick from the straight side shot. Then you see the other pics Needs some help in the roll and pull department.

[tommyp2010]

I like where this thread is going

[Maven]

285s can fit with stock look. Kappas are sick like that. I want one soooo bad.

[Omiotek]

19x10s with 295s out back needed body work as you can tell lol....we can do you a deal on charge tubes and an intercooler when your ready. oh and btw i would NOT recommend bc coilovers... we currently run them and are far from happy. might be switching to anze next season.

[Spike]

Good to know about the BC's. However idk if 5k coilovers can be done on my moneys. Or at least not this coming up spring.

[mkriebs]

Looks like a good plan man. Definitely going to need some tuck and roll job if you go too big in the tire dept, though.

[Spike]

Ordered my Solo street race exhaust. Going to order tht werks tunnel brace this week. Install hopefully Saturday.
