28/28 seems to work well. I drop it to 23 in the rear at the drag strip, and pump the fronts up to 38 for less rolling resistance. And 34/32 for long road trips. Fronts tend to wear more on the sides, but I make up for that when I pump them up for road trips, helps on the gas mileage with only a slightly rougher ride. My tires have about 6K on them and are wearing even and should get another 15K out of them, well, maybe not the rears.

Wow, great looking cars.
When upgrading to the deepdish wheels and larger tires does the handling and ride change much from the stock
setup?
You guys are killing me with all the pics so I am thinking of going this route but would like to know what to expect before doing the staggered thing.

Although I need them rebalanced I think...the steering wheel started shaking a little around 60mph. I dont think the initial balancing was done properly. Going to have it checked out asap.

yeah, the stock 17" was dead on straight, no issues. I just assembled these new ones on teh car and I doubt that I was that rough on the car when I put them on. I guess the guys at the tire shop who assmebled the tires and balanced them initially didnt quite get it right.

fredrik, did you check to see if they removed the retaining clips on the front rotors? that may be the cause and not an improperly balanced wheel. worth a shot.
