Default Got my new tires...........

Got shipped in yesterday, Riken Raptor RZ's, 245 on back 225 on the front- the front's tread width looks damn near the same as the rear, which is good. Anyway gettin them mounted Monday, hopefully ill be able to hook up in first gear now, since i couldnt before. Maybe here in a few months, ill be able to hit the track(Gateway Intl.-St louis) i gotta get some subframes(LG Motorsports) ordered, get them and my torque box plates welded, and order some UCA's and them ill be ready...........

Id never put a wider tire on the front, thatd be stupid, and i put 225s on the front cuz im runnin 235 right now and Riken doesnt make a 235, so i decided since they rub already id go 10mm smaller........

Wheres GIR? im near Springfield IL. As of my last tires, i think my 60 ft times would have been the 4 sec, i couldnt get any traction- with the pedal near half thtollte unless i ease into it, im gettin the treads mounted Monday, so hopefully there hel soften the ride and grip the ground
