Hot.

Do you still have the BF? You should fit the Rota's to the BF for Laurel's sake.

One Sweeeeet feature of the newer GT's? You can stuff 235's under there with no issues ;). Need 8" rims, but you can do it by simply rolling the fenders.

Talk about hot, 235mm at each corner. Make it R-compound, and it'll scare children :)

Well, you can mount 235s to 7.5" rims, too. The sidewalls will bulge ever so slightly for that beefy look. ;)

Nice thing is. . . all the 17" Rotas from Subydude come in 7.5" width, I believe. :D

Yes, those wheels are quite hot.
Does this mean the TW is "old and busted"?

The 225s look really good on the 7.5" wheel. The Falkens seem pretty wide and are right there at the edge. It's an awesome look.

The TW is old, and it is a little busted, but definitely not down for the count. I know someone can take it and do the things to it that need to be done.

I just needed something different and less frustrating.

did the GT's come w/LSD or is that one of the mods?

I think the limited slip refers to the center diff?

GT's came with rear LSDs.
