Wider Solara?
Has anybody here widened thier Solara? I've got close to 300hp and I can break the tires loose pretty easily. I was thinking about maybe widening the fenders a couple of inches to squeeze in some wider tires.
I've heard of some people putting on 225s, but I was thinking of installing more like 275s.
I figure the more rubber on the road, the harder to break them free.
I understand that that is the nature of a front wheel drive car. I'm just looking looking for different ways of correcting this weak attribute.
By the way, I'm no where near done with the modifications. My goal is 500hp (a nice round number). With that many horses, I'll need really sticky tires.
My goal is to blow by a 2006 Z06 Corvette. Then I'll be happy.
What are the pros and cons of this project?
