Sorry to kinda hijack this thread... Matt what do you think about the falken ziex 512.I dont plan on racing in anyway and also plan on buying a new set of wheels for next year so looking for something pretty cheap but a decent tire.

the 512 are great for all-around use. work great as good performance tires and all-seasons. not the fastest things out there, but they do just about everything decently well. to get any better dry tradction, you're going to have to go with a tire that loses something somewhere else.

ish, what Falkens? If they're the ST-115, STAY AWAY! Almost any of the others are decent.

In the Tire forum, a lot of people say that the 512's dont last that long. Maybe 20k-30k miles. Other than treadlife, they are good performers.

Offset? If it's too much, it might rub.

I run 30mm offset 18x8. at 10mm more, that's about 0.40" that it will stick "in" toward the strut. I'll "guess" that it "should" fit. It will be close though

does the "i guess" mean with eibachs and tokico's because i was thinking to install all at the same time. I just dont want to get these tires and they not work.
