A word of warning - I never found out if those OR52s are actually available in Scoob fitment (offset, etc.), and I saw them once in person on an Acura. . . they're actually not that nice. Kinda ricey.

It looks like everything in 5x100 is a 38 offset. So no good for a WRX. And the 17 inch size is only 7" wide, so not the best wheel for autocross either.

eggeegg · 2007-03-04, 08:56 PM

ya, the offset was too low for subarus. that's why i went with the 5zigen. it did look nice in the picture though. 5zigens look good too.

Where do you guys go to get your tires mounted on wheels? Just anyplace like Big-O? I'm getting tires and wheels seperately from Internet.

Nick Koan · 2007-03-08, 09:53 AM

Big-O will do it for you, so will most tire places. They will grumble a little bit, and it could cost up to $20 a tire. I'd call around and ask what they will charge for tire mounting and balancing.

Hoosier crack-pipe season.
Have you raced on Hoosiers before?

Nope, this will be the maiden voyage. I'm pumped.

Street tires are ruining autox

I had to run some spacers to clear the suspension, but I think this'll help shave off a few 10ths.

Sorry, Nick, I couldn't resist

These things are hot as hell, makes me miss white wheels.
Can you tell I'm going nuts without my car?

Nick Koan · 2007-03-10, 12:39 PM

Hmmm, so my new tires are nearly as tall as stock OB tires? I may need to invest in some shorter tires soon.

Thanks for the pics mang.

sybir · 2007-03-10, 12:49 PM

Indeed, they're pretty beefy.

Joeyy · 2007-03-19, 02:05 PM

No more money!...

Yep, it's final. It will be last years tires for some time to come.

Kevin M · 2007-03-19, 02:24 PM

Nick and Cody are going to be heartbroken.

Nick Koan · 2007-03-19, 02:27 PM

Nah, Derrick will still be a contender with old tires. I still gotta keep my game up.

Still not too worried about Cody though

At least you know you won't be the only one on last year's 615s

Dean · 2007-03-19, 09:12 PM

You boys in ESP better be careful or Sue will have to knock you around in her WRX. Maybe she should run in open class...

Her NEW 615s on black SubZeros look HAWT and fast on her white wagon.

MattR · 2007-03-19, 09:17 PM

I ran on old tires last season, I did okay. Just drive better and you'll hardly notice.

MPREZIV · 2007-03-20, 06:31 AM

Just got my monies from Uncle Sam! 235/40 615's on the way!

Kevin M · 2007-03-20, 08:28 AM

w00t! Gimme yo leftovers y0!

Man, I gotta stop sayin that.

sperry · 2007-03-20, 08:34 AM

I'll start the season on old 615's... IIRC I got them half-way through the season last year... so they've got half a season, and a winter of garage storage on 'em. I don't expect them to be awesome, but they'll be better than the $600 for a new set.

Pshh, whatever, my car's way more...

yellow than yours.

If I can just keep my car out of the body shop, I'll be happy.

I'm on last year's 615s too.
