After several attempts we were finally able to air this sucker up. 285/30R20 Falken FK-452 on an HRE wheel that measures 20×13″ So YES technically we were able to do what we were asked to do, and that is air this crazy stretch up.

But NO you should not be driving on this. There is about a 3/4″ gap between the tire bead and where it should be sitting on the wheel. This mysterious request was from Formula Drift world champion Chris Forsberg.

For what kind of car? A 350Z naturally… It’s a show car that Chris is helping out with. He was pretty floored that we were able to air it up after several attempts by himself and other tire shops. Later the customer decided to go with a 305/30R20. But we are still stretching with the best of them here at CTO!

It wasn’t intentional by all means, but some how we ended up with a few Porsches at our shop this past Saturday.

Our good friend Danny stopped by in the morning. He had purchased the coilovers and really needed a shop where he could install them. His car was in desperate need for a ride height change. Good bye rally Porsche!

Some of you may recognize Danny from our 24 Hours of Nürburgring trip. He is good friends with our driver Carl Rydquist (shown on the right working on his 996 Turbo).

Carl had also scheduled some garage time to put on some new rear camber arms and toe links on his 996 Turbo that we prepping for the 2010 Red Line Time Attack Season.

A few moments later, Jimmy from Attic swings by to do some fine tune adjustments on his Porsche… that’s what he says.. but I think he came by for the infamous CTO Shrimp Cocktails and Tostadas!

The garage area was looking pretty nice with three 911’s parked side by side.   

On the left is Carl’s Porsche after we put in the rear Camber Arms and Toe Links. On the right is Danny’s rally Porsche transformed into Street Beast! Looking much better.

Another pic of Danny’s Porsche, front end is really nice and low. We had to raise it a tad. But both Carl and Danny were admiring a side by side shot of their Porsches parked on our lot.

I <3 Porsche.
