i have the same size as gary, and my baby even drifts fine on them.

mine rub all over the place, in front because i think i need to move the wheels forward (they seem to be a little rearward in the arches) and at both ends because i have 25mm spacers installed!
*cough* 23mm dump ass !!!

howzit.Lucas has got 235/40/18 semi slicks on his S14 with a RB 25.
He has nearly zero grip in 1st and 2 nd with the amount of torque the 6-cylinder produces.If you looking at a RB26 I would suggest 265 on 18's or even 19's - semi slicks off course if you ever want to get off the line quick.Or drag radials like Andre's S13 RB25.
