Denis paid 400k for it. Richard spent 300k for parts.
Denis bought out Richard for 300k for parts and 100k on top for labor. So the car end up costing 800k.

Is 285/35 on a 10.5 eligible? I hope? I was hesitant to go too much larger until I dial in the suspension.

That's what I was expecting, I know they'll fit the wheel and car well, just don't know if they'd qualify for the aggressive fatty thread

Either way I'll hopefully have some pics next week lol.

Had a quick question regarding some tire sizes and it seems like this is the best place to ask. I have a set of 18x9.5 +27 F and 18x10.5 +30 R. With the fronts I was thinking about going with either a 255/40 or a 245/40 and the rears a 275/40. I really would like a nice flat sidewall would those sizes help me achieve that? Ae these sizes good, or should I be considering something else? I will have the cars lowered on coils as well. I'm currently looking at a set of g-sport comp2s (if that matters).

Stay below 3% difference between front and rear diameter to avoid VDC issues. (275/40 and 245/40 most likely won't work well together).

I loved the 9.5"/10.5" with 255/285s setup but there was too much rubbing on the rears...

The 285 looks good on the 10.5. I'm already rolled and pulled from doing the low and slow thing so I don't think I'll rub, but we'll see. Tires should be here Friday, wheels arrived today, pretty excited to drive on a properly fitted tire with traction again.

Yeah. The rubbing wasn't really bad but enough where I decided to stick with 275s.
If I ever find a really good deal on 285s I would go back though.

Hope this qualifies. New setup on top compared to old setup on bottom, getting more functional by the day. More pics are on hold, found out I need to replace my subframe and diff bushings this week, lol.

Anyway, 285/35/18 on 10.5+15 vs the old 255/35/19 on 11.5+2
