Mounted them up today just to check front clearences etc. They are definitely all about function, not sure if I'll win any beauty contests! They do fillout the car nicely however.

This is my favorite shot. The Hoosier on an 8" rim is easily 1 1/2 inches wider that the Yoko's. The Hoosier is also shorter so I think I'll have a little more power out of those slow corners - but I guess down side is all be on the rev limiter sooner too.. I dont have an accurate scale but I think race wheels/tires are at least 2-3 lbs lighter

LOL! Took the pictures before the car settled down and my car does sit a little higher than some slammed cars. We'll see what I have to do when I lower it some more.

I did jack up the other side and sit on the rear fender to check clearences when suspension if fully compressed in the rear. Clears then too. Think I got a differnt offset than you right? Or maybe I'm just a brute and could better man handle my rear fenders? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

And this picture is for you Joe. My 4x4 race car! ...they do look a little better in person, but the light was doing crazy things so I couldnt resist this one!

Naw Grants car is now so lite with the fiberglass this and that. That must be how it sits at ride hieght.

Yes Grant you go 1/2" more back space than my Red ncek wheels. But I had to "Real Man Handle " the fenders out like 2 inches.

For reference I think I can drive my car under yours.

We have just got to have a beer sometime. What a hoot that will be. Someday I will get out to one of them classics (WCC, FFC, MSUR)

Good job on getting the tire/wheel set-up on the car.

My Hoosier's arrived today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif)
They're BIG.
I'm a little nervous about mouting them on my 5.5" rims.
They say 6.5" is the minimum "recommended".

The chance of decreased performance potential and tire life looms. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

These Hoosiers are wide. I set one down next to my Boxster that has 255 rears and that "little" 205 looks almost as wide from a distance! They are easily 1 1/2 inches wider than the Yokohamas you run on 5.5 wheels. They fit perfect on 8 " wheels. I'm thinking 6.5 should be minimum for you. Guess you could try the 5.5 and see how it works.
