The more I think about it, the more I just don't think 2% thread width is worth adding 3 lbs to your weight! I'll really need to do my research. I feel like I can use slightly more traction now that I have test pipes and a stage 2 tune. But I wouldn't say the traction is horrible, and having 12mm spacers also took care of the aesthetics.

Definitely let us know what you end up doing. 255 in the front I will definitely do though.
