I think it's just the new coating. Realistically 295 is a big tire. With no blower there's no reason to be spinning like that. I say burn off the finish on them and you will get the traction you want.
BTW i need more pics NOW!!!!!! I was thinking of getting the same wheels for my car. I also think your taste in paint for the car is a good one .......car looks great!

Ok so that one pic was simply amazing but we needz more. I cant believe how much the drop improves the cars look. I definitely need one. Did you add shocks and struts too or just springs?
Rims look great man! I've had the 305/35 DR's for about three weeks now. They seem to get better and better traction every day. They were slippery as hell the first few days.
I'm still spinning the tires a bit hitting 3rd gear though. I plan to get some LCA's and relocation brackets in the next few weeks. I want the car to HOOK on launch and when changing every gear.
I won't add any more power to this car until I get the traction issues completely under control. I hope the LCA's and relo brackets solve it.

the car looks good. looks totally different w/ the wheels and did you change the grill too? the change looks a lot better. but if you think the traction is bad now, just wait until summer.
