the signiture below tells the rest. lmk what you guys think.

 

Looks pretty good man. How wide are your wheels? How is traction?

 

It would look better with stock 16 inch formula wheel or upgrade to 17's.

 

traction is great. little to no wheel spin at all and they hook great!! i need the wide tread pattern because i plan to auto-x the car and take it down the strip a few times here and there with the built single turbo 350 im currently working on. also the rims are ten inches wide. i have ten inches of tread hitting the ground in back and 9 in front.

and stock rims are just not my thing. they gotta be aftermarket!!

 

I doubt they will hook with a turbo'd 350. Plus you'd want less sidewall for autocross. The car will be all over the place with regular street tires.

 

We'll let the man that auctally owns the tires do the judging, okay? Thanks,

 

you asked for people's opions. I gave mine. Sorry if you don't like it.

 

Okay

 

You fit a 265 tire on the front? wow. I had problems with a 245/60 on my '83. had to go to a 235/60 and it doesn't rub

 

I love the style. But yea, very wide on the front, don't plan on doing any parallel parking or... turning in a tight circle.
Those deep dish wheels and fat tires are great. Are those Cobra tires pretty good as far as traction? They're more of a street tire right? Harder longer lasting compound?

 

yeah the front ones have been on a year or so but have never seen winter. the rears i havent really got to test yet. since the turbo 350 isnt done yet. and no never would i even attempt to turn in a tight circle and parallel park. i dont even do that in my civic lol. i do have an occasional rub in the front if i turn way to hard. but it hugs corners great. but i either need to mini-tub the rear, or find a better wheel that sets the tire in more. i rub on the rear if my approaching angle is to steep and sharp.

 

I have the cooper cobras with 245-60-r15 out back and 215-65-r15 in the front I believe. The rears are wearing great and I think they have great traction. The front holds great in turns, but they are wearing kinda quick. After about 3000 miles the outside grip on the front tires only has a 1/16 to an 1/8 left. Wearing kinda faster then expected, they are rated at 50000 miles. I think they must be a really soft rubber to be wearing that fast.

 

1 15" wheels and you can't turn tight? - you won't be doing much autocross
2 they're not gonna hook much power
3 you can't mini-tub these cars w/o "back-halfing" the car

It takes A LOT more than a turbo motor to go fast and handle well.
