Phht. Silly expensive and with poor wear characteristics, made no sense for a street tire. The Conti Extreme's a pretty darn good summer high performance tire that outperform the Michelin's in the rain and should last a heck of a lot longer.

those 325's seem to stick out a bit much. I feel you though as the cups run an extra $700 per set.

Looks good Tob! And awesome photo taking skills! 
Bad Ass as usual
Thanks for the kind words guys. As for the tire revs per mile, there does need to be an adjustment made. I'm waiting to see if the Track Key allows you to do this or not.
The wheel specs are identical to that of the factory R rim. So the poke is factory R. As far as the tires go you may find this interesting. Direct from the tire rack...
Continental Extreme DW 325/30/19 has 11.5" tread width.
Michelin Cup2 315/30/19 has 11.7" tread width.

R springs in your future or not the proper match with the magnaride tuning on the non-R?
MachME, the listings only show a difference of 7 revs per mile. I'm waiting to see if the upcoming Trackey allows you to make related changes.
I'm also waiting to see if FR releases GT350 springs as well as an opportunity to play with the Mag tune.

That looks really nice.
As anticipated, the R-Specs look killer!
Why FR? Is BMR developing anything, or have something already available?
Looks fantastic, by the way! Race red is a gorgeous color.

Although if you look at the section width which i believe is the actual width of the tire sidewall to sidewall, the conti's are .4" wider.
The R's cup 2's have a bit of a stretched look. As they are recomended for an 11" rim but the R runs 11.5, i'd try 305 mpss all around, 11" rim all around would be ideal for that. Maybe a spacer for the rears to make em poke out a bit like the R, but you'll still have that stretched tire look they come with.

It almost seems as if the aftermarket is waiting for FR to make the first move. Based on available volume, that's probably a wise move.
Enough. We need shots of the monster you've created!
As much as the Cup 2's are great performers, I absolutely abhor the look they impart with the R size combination. They sure do execute though!
I love the look of the cup2's slightly stretched. Looks so badass to me. There must be some kind of benefit from running a slightly oversized rim on a tire why else would they do it?

Is revs per mile that important on these? I ask because on my 6.0 and 6.4 powerstrokes the revs per mile was only used for transmission shifting strategy. Didnt affect speedo correction.
Just curious! Thanks again for all the great info as always TOB!
