i want to install the kb real bad... its been sitting in my room just stairing at me. I want to get everything done to the car first then install the kb. Once the kb is on i want to just save money till motor goes boom... then i can forge it then turn the boost up!! [Whoo Whooooo!]

anyways im thinking the black fr500's black with polished lip

Those will be quite heavy [Frown]

Just buy mine [Razz]

I had 18" Chromw Saleens on my GT w/ a 295/30 Pirelli but a 35 series would have been better.

And i say 265/35 up front.

FWIW, I ordered 265/35 and 295/35 for my 18x9/10 FR500's

Saleen and Roush used them if I'm not mistaken [Smile]
