Thanks for all the feedback!

I'm lowered on Megan street prototypes. They feel great, perfect for getting it low and everyday driving.

No rubbing at all front or rear & no fender mods done.

I was thinking of going 235/40 front 255/35 rear. if front clears i might go 245/35 instead.

From what u see, u think 255/35 Will clear the rear?
I don't see a problem running 255 in the rear. I believe the white frs from wheeldude's car is running 255 all around on a 9.5??

That's fantastic. I didn't think a 9.5 with 245 rubber would sit in the front fender like that. Could you post some pictures showing the actual poke profile when you get a chance? I'm sure the back is fine, I'm really interested in the front.

What is it with the recommendation to recline back in the seat?

Look at any of the top level touring car drivers or nascar and they have the wheel close. It makes it much easier to control the car when the wheel is closer. You shouldnt have to take your shoulder off the seat to reach the top of the wheel.

Rant over

The car looks fantastic by the way! How much did you lower it? Im running the same size tyres with 8.5 rims on the front

Thanks for the love!

Here's a quick pick of the front . Not much camber


Yeah the carbon fiber kit is called (downforce) kit.

P.s wheels were special ordered in this size color and spec. Sorry
