180-go

Thanks mate, yeah running 215's with the RB25 would make it tough when going hard. I was planning on running 245's up front. I didn't realise that the rt615 and the 595rs didn't come in 285 so that doesn't matter anyway and will probably have to go with 275's in the rt615. I didn't realise that Sydneykid didn't have the track kit for the S13 yet. Is 245/275 still to much everyone? Will running 265's be worse for grip/handling than 275/285 on a 10" wide rim?

Ok thanks mate. I am most likely going to buy Sydneykids suspension package so hopefully that can help. I noticed that a lot of expensive cars and even cheaper sports cars have a large difference in sizes front to rear. I'm trying to build myself a poormans supercar lol.

Yeah, I was going to run 245's up front and 285's at the rear. The Falken RT615's only come in 275's so maybe 245's/275's. How do you mean by balance?

I have 18" rims for the 180 but the rears are 10" wide with -15 offset so they would fill the new guards. I was told that 275's or 285's would be to wide for the weight of my car and most likely give less grip than a much narrower tyre. Something to do with the weight being spread over too much area. I was going to fit semi slicks most likely only the Falken RT615's which only go up to 275 in the 18" and not a true R compound but better for light daily driving and occasional sprints. Is this true, it did seem to make sense when the tyre bloke was describing it and if so will it be considerably worse? I would rather do sprints etc and i'm probably the only person with a 180 that does not give a shit about drifting. This site seems to have more adults who do track work than fully sick drift kids so I didn't bother posting on NS.com. Thanks guys.

Thanks alot for your help mate. I do appreciate your experience and just trying to learn. Should I go for the 595rs or the rt615 then?

I tried some old second hand r compound semi's just to see what they were like and they were rediclously awsome on the street without warming up. I cannot remember what they were now, it was a while ago. Are the RE55 etc really worse than normal tyres when not warmed up? I can't get it out of my head how awsome the ones I tried were and they were old.

Thanks for that mate. Are the toyo r888 just the same and what would be better out of the 595rs and rt615? The rating for the federals seems to be lower than the falkens but does it have more grip?

Has anyone used the RE55 in the hard compound? I'm tossing up whether to go all out with r compounds or go for something like the rt615.
