Ha. Funny the last post here was me... well I couldnt find them in bronze and wound up with, what I was told was, the last set of this size/finish left that Rays even had.

17x9+35 wrapped in 235/45 BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2's. Fortune Auto FA500 coilovers.

I had forgotten to measure clearance before doing the coilovers, so I couldnt even tell you :/

I've been trying to find a stock one in my area to compare it to.

I feel you, I bought my car with coils and I didn't know how much it was lowered, but I found a thread that someone posted stock measurements and where they measured from, I forgot what the measurements were, but i do know I'm lowered 2 inches front and back. I'm just curious to see what these wheels would look like that low. I'll see if I can find the stock measurements.

Edit: I remembered I jotted them down on a notepad. For the front stock height was 26.5 inches and the rear was 27 inches, not all the measurements were exactly the same in that thread if I remember correctly but they were all within a half inch of each other. This was also measured from the top center of the fender to the ground for both the front and back. If you measure do it on flat even ground. Also I think side to side isn't exactly the same, but I didn't measure side to side myself, just front and back.

Ahh with that in mind you'd have to take tire size into consideration. I figured TDC of the wheel well arch to some point of the hub would be a good measuring protocol. That is if people aren't going crazy with their caster lol.

But by this standard I'm 1&3/4 in the front and 2&1/8 in the rear. Could be right I guess.

Ah yes you're right about tire size, completely forgot that could affect it, Im still on stock wheels so I completely disregarded that haha. But I assume as long as you keep the same diameter it would be close to the same.

Any rubbing issues? I love the way your car sits and I'm looking to do the same wheel but with a 255 tire instead.

Yeah I dont plan on tracking the car too much just the occasional autocross here and there, not 100% set on 255, will probably end up with 245. Just going around seeing what other people are running. And no problem dude.
