Nice! I'm curious how good your traction will be with the Dunlops. What size are your rims again?

20x8.5 20x10 These are REALLY soft. Treadwear is AA. Should hook up nice!

You really went with a 30 series in the rear? I honestly think 35 look better. I know measurement wise they give you a slight rake but a rake always look better

With a 20 this is the best size for the car. Ive always ran 30 ib the rear. Plus with a 285 a 30 isnt bad.

Did you consider a 255/30/20 & 295/25/20 setup? You can get the PS2s in this size.

Yes, but with FI you need any improvement in traction you can get.

I had the SP9000's on my last car and loved them. They were great in the rain, and once they warmed up were sticky as hell. Treadwear seemed to be pretty good as well. I hope these treat you as well as my SP9000's treated me.
