That's reason #1. #2 is that the percentage of increase to the larger tires throws off the speedo more. 245/255-35 and 275/285-30 keep the tire size closer to stock spec. But the main reason is the drop.

Tomato, Tomoto - everyones got their own opinions on what they want to do. That's the beauty of it.

i semi-agree since i'm running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 BUT now that I'm running those sizes, when I go to replace my tires, I'm definitely going at least 285/30/19 in the rear. I might move to 255/35/19 in the front.

First goodie of the day has arrived!

mikew2069 · 04-26-2013, 03:24 PM

Damn dude! You should do before/after dynos with that thing!

I have 285/25/20 right now and there's certainly no rubbing at all.

Since I'm going 19", I might be able to get away with 285/30 but 275/30 is certainly not rubbing.

I honestly would if there was a decent place to dyno around here. The last place I took it to was just a bad experience overall. I have zero experience with dyno's and I took it to Car Boy at the recommendation of M-Power and those guys were just lost.

Before and after videos are uploading now.

Next set of parts arrived, some carbon fiber trim.

The M Performance Carbon Fiber interior. I'll post some pics of it in a bit. I need to go fix this leveling sensor problem on my headlights before night time. My headlights only cover like 4 feet in front of my car because they are angled down so much.

Lol me going crazy on multiple parts is the cash equivalent to your M Perf brakes haha

To late now one shipment of many has arrived.

I thought the widest we could go with stuck rims is 255? Right?

I have ordered some new wheels they just haven't arrived yet. That's what the tires are for.

Lol, yea I guess that's true. Its just that you got like 5 boxes and I only got one

.... I need to check out that Carbon fiber interior in person. That's something I've had my eye on but just not sure if its practicle for me.

I also had that headlight issue but in the opposite way. My lights were blinding people so I had to angle them down some. Easy enough to do though.

anelson524 · 04-29-2013, 02:36 PM

Splitter and M-Perf. handbrake came in today. Hoping to get the splitter installed before the weather kicks up this evening.

anelson524 · 04-30-2013, 07:43 AM

Got it installed late last night. Had to make a run to harbor freight, you absolutely have to have this plastic rivet tool. An aluminum or steel rivet tool would not suffice. Took all of an hour to do this with the right tool.

Hoping to get my car cleaned up when I get off work today and get some better pictures with the real camera and not the iPhone.

Not the best picture ever but also the full M-Performance interior installed.

Kudos to you on a job well done Andrew. car is really looking good.
