Nice tires and nice Subaru! I am surprised to see someone else with a BRZ and ZL1. I like it...

What Size? Interested how they will look on stock rims. Iv used r888's on previous cars with over 800whp and surprisingly they hook well from a roll.

Put a set of these on your 20” Incurves and use them when you feel like being pretty. With TC on they’ll probably handle the power better than most would hope and they won’t have any sway. Then get a set of 17s for the rear for Mexico.

I have been running 315/30R20s all this year. Freaking awesome tire!!! I'm at 792whp and they hook up like superglue. They do make a little road noise, kind of like rear gears going bad, but not that bad! I will never go back to DRs again unless it is a track dedicated 15" conversion!

I'm thinking about it. I just bought every BMR rear suspension part to help stiffen the rear end. Dropping car off today actually. Matt is still keeping me away from the bottle, I want to run 100 shot. He'd rather have LME just build the engine and we can go crazy with boost instead. I want 1500 hp, he said do it that way instead of adding NOS. I'm expecting 1100 this time around. I have faith he can make it happen with this platform. Boost only. No heat issues.

I'm gonna get it back first, see how the suspension parts handle. Look, I already know I'm headed towards a 17" rear set for Mexico. I'm just holding off haha. Like always. But, once I realize these 20's won't hold, then it will be time to let them go. Or I might just keep them as wall art and hang them up in the house.

Stupid question but are those legal on the street?

How do they compare to the GY 3R of the 1LE?

By the way those comparison photos are hilarious!

You think they can hold at 1100 hp on the roll? I have a buddy at your power levels and he's hooking dead on so. What's another 300 hp? haha.

Eye candy! Did you have to move the connector on the drivers side to stop that tire from rubbing?

I am sold on these. Next spring and 19" wheels. I hope I can get close to the stock offset.

Yes they're street legal. Not sure how they'd compare but I'm guessing they'd be right there with it as the R888R goes neck and neck with the NT01 which is an R Comp track tire that's road legal.
