Once these tires wear out, i will try 275 front and 295 rear

So far, they don't make RE71R 19s wider than 285 in the rear. I love my 285 RE71Rs, but have been jonesin for them to make them in something wider (preferably 305). Hopefully they will if/when the retire the RE11.

How much power are you putting down?

Haven't dyno'd (actually haven't gotten the car back yet from shop with latest upgrades installed, should get tomorrow), but my guess is around 530 whp on 93 pump gas and maybe 580 or 600 whp on MS109 and map 7 before stock fuel limitations kick in. I do not run meth. Meth would/could bring me into mid/upper 600s, but it's my daily driver so staying conservative and hassle-free...sort of. heh.

When Fuel-It rolls out their S55 Port Injection fueling solution, I'll be all over that.

Haven't had it on a dyno. Im still trying to figure out the best fuel mixture for my car... Lately it doesnt like E85 so im blending 8 gallons of 100 with 91 to find the sweet spot

Would you have gone for the 19" CI-R when they came out, or do you think you'll stick to the Vorsteiners? Car looks great btw, and I'm glad you like these tires. That's probably what I'm gonna try on one of my cars.

It depends on the weight of the wheels honestly...

The 20" CI-R's were like 26.5lbs front and 27lbs rear which was WAY too heavy...

The Vorsteiner wheels are about 22 lbs which is a hair lighter than stock.. I know there are lighter wheels but before i spend $8k on rims, id rather buy turbos

Sweet setup! BTW if you put 295 or 305 rears, will they rub do you think?

No there is still enough clearance as it since. i am using a 3mm spacer in the rear so without that, a 305 would tuck just right

True. I'm not a baller and it's still winter here in Germany, so not buying them soon. If I was home (LA area too), I'd have them because I wouldnt need to blow cash on winter wheels/tires.

It's still "winter" in LA too... 72 degrees at the moment and everyone is wearing a jacket

Can we get a side view from the rear to show the rear concave? Love these wheels but wondering if they are concave enough.
