275 on a 8.5 wide wheel?
Yup, for D-Street class in autocross. If you’re looking to get the same, be prepared to tip your tire guy handsomely. ;)

Eventually I got sick of not being able to mod my car in order to stay in D-Street, so I finally said “screw it” and added the mods I wanted anyway. As a result, I’m now in STU and am not required to use 8.5” wheels anymore. However, I’ll keep using them for the foreseeable future since my RT660’s have a lot of tread left on them.

I think we had a comms mixup - I have two different sets of wheels; a 19x8.5 set with wide tires (275/35), and an 18x9.5 set with 255/40 tires. I don't run them staggered; it's either-or.
My bad, sorry if misunderstood here.

Just got back from a trip through colorado. The roads I took were absolutely amazing, wish I had the R for it, but I left it at home.

Got to check out some sick cars at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb event as well as meet Dai Yoshihara, Will Au Yeung, and Larry Chen.

Id post the photos here but I hate resizing them..
