Do these wider/stickier front tires increase steering weight a bit?
Significantly? My 6th gen Accord V6 firmed up quite welln in response to
wider rubber.

That STI in #55 is sex! Great looking car.

I'm putting the 255/40-17 on my 06 TL and want to get an inch and a half drop. Would that make the tires rub?

Although I like the way *some* of stanced cars look they can be big step backwards in performance and practicality for a little aesthetics. Like a chick wearing spanx to the party. lol
Here's my current setup but I'm looking to go with 18's soon.
255/40's drop is about 2" or so on coils, 20/15mm spacers. I love the way it grips the road and corners

Great thread! Love the squared look.

I have some questionable wheel sizes... not sure how it'd play out though.

Love the thread. I'm a car fanatic so I love seeing everyone's styles and ideas. However, my Type S is a daily driver and since I'm a realtor I average like 25-30k per year! I'm also into high speeds and track time in the summers...where a balanced meatier tire is a better ride but also more rubber on the ground. I'm currently on stock type s wheels and on 255/40s which are very comfortable and handle amazingly well. I'm due for after market wheels this sorting and I'm definitely having 2nd thoughts on going with 19s...would rather a meatier 18 that I'm comfortable with at high speeds.
