threw the ole twankies back on the luvn oven shaggin waggin...
I kinda missed the more aggressive fitment...
tires in the rear are shot on the inside so no highway driving for now...although I had it aligned after that.
Front tires are cooked too though on the oem wheels so no matter what I'm getting new rubber...just need
to decide which set I'll be rockin...

If I do put the 20's back on permanently, I have to decide if I want to have the one curbed wheel powdered, or if I'd rather
redo the whole set, or just rock em just the way they are. If I powder I'll probably go with a bright silver.

What size of tire(s) do you need?

I know the Cooper RS3-S is rather cheap in the larger sizes (like the 325s on the Jizzmo ). They weren't a bad tire, for the price, either. Not the greatest. But not too shabby either.

The calipers look good. I'd love to see your wagon with the calipers painted bright silver with black decals. Look classy AF with the black body and chrome accents on the car

255/40/19 & 285/35/19
OR
255/35/20 & 285/30/20

Rear of OEM wheels have new PSS already so I would spend the bucks on matching PSS for the 19's...
or go with reasonably cheap Sumitomo HTR Z3's for the 20's like I did last time...

(mis)Alignment on a heavy powerful vehicle is a tire fuckin killer...

You don't think that'd look good? It's almost too bright of a silver that you used in that pic, though. Looks borderline white.

Orange > silver. But seriously, if you dont want others to see it, then paint it black or silver. But i would want others to look at my beautiful BBC, i mean BBK tho.

You're not going to miss silver six piston calipers

Looks classy AF... though I'd change the wheel color to something darker... like RS already has!

I was joking with my friend in Taiwan who just got Brembo for his X5 about painting it to the lime green that Panamera has.... 2 weeks later, they were lime green
Shit is so bright that it hurts your eyes. If you really want attention

my selection was partially for pop, and partially to not introduce another color to what was already on the car...silver was too bland and I didn't want anything that was oem to the V (silver, red, yellow)...my plate has yellow red and orange...and my headlights have a pretty dark orange reflector in them. Burnt copper it was!

I see you are trying very hard to match the dark orange reflector in the headlight that no one could see you might as well introduce a new color.. Pop that shit !.. But orange is good tho. I prefer orange, loud, pop without being too much of an attention whore like my friend.

lmao, the only other color I was pretty sure I might do was teal (satin lagoon)...predatorbird messaged me a picture of my own black TL with the burnt copper from a few years ago and that locked it in, I knew that would be the color I did.

I do like that you matched the amber in the lights to the calipers. I personally am a fan of amber in headlights, since my OMFG-JDM-AF love for amber corners that came on older Hondas/Acuras in Japan. I remember paying a small fortune for solid amber corner marker lights on my '92 Civic Si hatch.

Orange doesn't vibe with battleshit grey mang
I'd sell those wheels as is and get what you like later if your stockies are golden.

Or powerdercoat them how you like and run 'em.
Needing new tires.. shiett mang.

Why the hell would a jizzmo need to be running 325s..
#CamberRapeBangGang
Anyways, you sell yo shit Taco? You crash it solving for X? H spilled the beans.. what's up?

I sold the nismo, about two weeks ago. Business is getting closer to launch and I know I will be poor AF for some time to come, so I cleaned up the cash flow and got rid of an unnecessary payment.

I was running 325s in the back and 285s in the front. Stock was 285R and 245F. Zero fitment issues. No rubbing, no rolling fenders, zip. I like the meaty tire look and wanted to fill in the fender gaps a bit. That's all!! I thought everyone liked a lil' extra deli meat...
