I liked it at first site, but thought about it... Doesn't make sense. Too much tire for such a low power car.

how doesnt it make sense...
hes running a tire which fits on the rim...the way its supposed to.

maybe he plans on modding the car later for more power...
and if not, have you ever tracked your tc? either autox or drag racing?
even though our cars are slow stock, they can still spin through first gear in alot of situations.

i went to the track last week. my first run i launched at only 2,500 RPM in VHT and was still able to spin in first.

I used 2 Camber bolts on each side as well. I got about -2.2 on each side right now. Can you not get that much? Are you setting it up right?

KCTTC - Damn -3.5 camber front and rear! That's crazy! With the more positive caster, do you have better road feel? I'm trying to figure out what specs to run as well since I want some track time in the future.

The positive caster made a huge difference in straight line stability and turn in. These settings are obviously not going to be good for a daily driver. I only drive my Tc about 50 miles a week.

I'm currently building a custom turbo setup. I will be installing the clutch, flywheel and differential over the winter. The car should be out in the spring ready for some track use.

Right that's what positive caster does, but also with more positive caster you should get more positive cabin feedback as well. You drive more miles on your tC than I do per week. I need to take my rear bumper off and do some trimming so I don't rub anymore lol. Fender is good, now I just rub on the rear bumper.

Getting married in May so the turbo kit is on hold. I'm currently building a custom race header and exhaust. I'm also building a a full cage and installing a carbon roof.

so what exactly is your argument here ? that because he has 275s the wheels wont spin or less spin?

just because u can spin in first doesnt mean ur track worthy or something. its not hard to.

now the wheels look great . 275s not so hot, too much meat for me. specially on our cars. If your turbo and ur making significant power, yes.

but the car looks sick !. turbo that sucker !
