I know this is painful for some of us who have been struck by the ‘Mod Bug’ but driving your car as it stands would really make a difference in the long run.
So this is what I plan on doing and would encourage you and others do the same (willing to have my plan if given enough reasoning other than some mods are cheap)
I’m driving the car this upcoming season on my current setup which is b14 ser wheels which are 15x6.5 (and heavy AF) with a set of 205/50/15 Nitto Neogens. I may even ride on them the following season depending how the tires look at the end (not sure how many events I’m going to actually be able to attend although I plan on making it out to as many as possible). From there I’m going to keep the same wheels and replace the tires with a good summer set (not considering RE71r just yet but something between those and the neogens) then when I run through those I’ll consider either RE71r with the same wheels or a 15x7.5ish wheel. Wouldn’t even be bad to see how they handle on the stock 6.5s before getting wider wheels.
The point is to learn where my hiccups are and better my driving before adding anything that will enhance my driving. Mods can make a car quicker but a better driver will make it even faster.
Thoughts? (Sorry this went off topic kinda lol)
No I totally agree. I think you're plan is definitely the way to go. I'm just still running extremely cheap 185's on the 14's so I would like to atleast get up to a 205. I had originally thought about buying a set of B14 wheels but between them being hard to find and the cost to just buy the wheels I want to run, I'm just going to buy wheels and tires. Just kind of one of those tough decisions I guess.
