Man, I all of a sudden remembered why I have been running in STX. Where does everyone get their Kumho's from?

There is another place. Pilson can tell ya who they are, but they're no cheaper and don't have a website.

I got my Rs and two sets of street tires from
http://www.edgeracing.com/ with great success, quick service, similar prices but I think Tirerack didn't carry the Toyo street tires I wanted.

I did the same for street tires and could always find somewhere that would sell them for a little bit cheaper than the other guy. I am just going to suck it up and buy them. (Sold some wheels today so I am ordering tires today
)

That 874 figure sounds familiar, familiar enough that he probably got some 275/40/17's.

Yep 275/40/17 tires. They supposively fit under the 05 and 06 without having to use spacers. I can't wait to get some wheels now. I need some 17x8 with 48 offset if anyone sees some for cheap. I may have to wait till some more of my stuff sells though.

You're gonna have a lil' bulge on that 8" wheel.........I'd leave those tires out in the sun before you get somone to mount'em.

Sad but true............. I just look at it as a "lower center of gravity".
