Oh I know. The Pilots in the back are for a Porsche, so they are extremely wide. They measure out very close to 275's since thats what my buddy has on his Vette....thats also why they are on the back!

They may not be JDM, but they are Aussie! Just a little south of JDM land...lol.

I've checked on this thread a few times and now it's my turn to say holy crap you have a nice car. I love the MS kit on a black 6. The 19's are way too huge but still awesome since they're just on for a show. Keep up the great work!

My car is going to be the bastard love child of a JDM, ESPEC, and USDM Mx6 threesome.

It's getting there.

Thanks again everyone!

I'm generally not a fan of huge rims either, but seriously man, like holy [fizzle], those rims look god damn ridiculous on your car, in a good way, totally holy [shizzle].

However, the 235s on the back are wider than the 235s on the front? I don't get it, they're both 235s.

By design they are wider. What I mean is that some companies design their tires to be square wall and others with a little stretch. I think its performance related since sidewall stretch is good for keeping the tire stable in turns and at higher speed; less flex. But giving more contact patch and a stiffer sidewall like the Pilots are the reason they are almost $500/tire to buy vs the $150 or so the Fuzion costs. Beyond that I can't explain it. The Pilots are the same diameter and marked size, but the tread patch is significantly greater then that of the narrow Fuzions.

Same can be said about my old Falken's and my new Kumho's on my FD's. They are the same size, but the Kumho's are wider. You can even see it in pictures...my Falken's looked stretched, my Kumho's don't.
