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.

You should get a set for your new uberwagon.

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 :p

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 :D
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 :p

The SHITE floweth freely in here!!

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

:(

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.
