[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16794664, member: 195778"] I ran R888s in 315/30/18 when I was at about 550rwhp and had 4.10s. First gear was, of course, completely useless beyond 50% throttle. Half to 2/3 of second was sketchy. Best combo with these for getting out of the hole was slipping the clutch and rolling into a max of 60% throttle. Short shift first a bit (30-35mph with the 4.10s) and ease back into her until half way through second where I was confident enough the rear would stay under me. The 888s fought like hell at the bottom of second, though. Nothing like the symphony of screaming blower, tires, motor, and exhaust. lol Brought her just north of 600whp, returned to 3.55s, and switched to 315/35/18 TQs. Worlds better. Then I added the FTBR IRS kit and now I have the majority of [I]first [/I]gear back. I nearly shat myself the first time I tried taking off with the new setup. Expected wheel spin (was actually intending to let em rip) and she just went like hell. I also think the taller sidewall of the TQ looks better unless you're running rubber bands on the front. Maybe if you go with a 305/35 888 assuming they come in that profile... [/QUOTE]
