No More Duct Tape!!! (56K No Way)

Lee, a 225 tread, 50 series sidewall would actually read 4.557% Too SLOW (as opposed to the others being too fast, because this tire would be taller overall than OEM). I'm okay with 225/40, but 225/45 might be what you're looking for, since there's more meat on the sidewall, and is actually closer to OEM than a 40-series (1.12% difference in diameter as opposed to 2.34% for my 40 series).

Hope this helps you out, btw the tire calculator is great to use: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?.

BTW Volks are great, GT7s are great 7-spoke Volks, and I know there are others as well.

When I upgrade to 18s, Im gona go with 225/45/R18.
Thanks for that web site, that helped a lot.

That's a good calculator. Here's a good one for wheels and tires. http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

I've got that fat nascar look going with the 50s.

Lee - the build looks great!
