    Default What size rubber to buy?

    Looks like I'm going to be pickin up some Rondell 58's in 17x8 and 17x10. I'm most likely going to be getting 235/45-17 for the front (maybe 225) but for the back, I dont know if I should get 255/40-17 or 265/40-17. I have Bilstein sports and H&R springs.


    Any help appriciated,

    Default I usually get "Magnums" or "XXXXL", you might want "slim fit"?

    Go with the 265/40/17. Wider is better... I believe 265/40/17 (-1.1) is closer to factory diameter than the 255/40/17 (-2.3). However, if you lower the radius of the wheel, you car will be quicker from stop.

    (I think this is one of winfred's, but anyway)

    I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for lover a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend. She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed, and that one thing was her younger sister.

    My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight mini skirts and low-cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when quite near me and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day little sister called and
    asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations.

    She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome.

    She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me."

    I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.

    When she reached the top she pulled down her panties and tossed them down to me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house. I walked straight towards my car.

    My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are so happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

    The moral of this story is: always keep your condoms in your car.
