SSBC Brake Kit: Whoa to Go
Converting the car to five-lug opened us up to a million wheel designs.OK, maybe not that many, but you get the idea. Still, we lost sleepdeciding which wheels to use. We wanted something different but cool. Wealso wanted something to contrast with our coupe's yellow paint and thered calipers from SSBC. Thanks to a little Photoshop work by our buddyJulian Moore, we chose Falken Tire Corporation's Torque 5 wheels in size18x8. We also had Falken mount the wheels with its FK-451 treads. Weordered 245/40 treads up front and 255/45 for the back. If we had to doit over, we would've used 245/40 shoes all the way around because the255/45-series tire sidewall looks really big when compared to the 245/40up front. Nonetheless, the FK-451 is an all-season performance tire thathooks on the street but still provides excellent road manners and littleroad noise.
