I'm curious as to how the handling feels with a very aggressive offset vs near stock offset. I'd assume since you're pushing the wheels out about 40mm on each side, the steering might feel "heavier". What is the weight of wheels and tires?
Throw those forgestars on now and take some pictures please! :-P |

Don't worry. We realized that this is definitely the wrong tire to use. We're getting the exact same tire you're using. It's coming out of Reno so it'll be a few days, but from what I've heard from you're experience. They should work perfect. Only rubbing issue was in the side skirt correct?

UPDATE: tires should be here by the end of the week. New tires have a diameter of 25". Hopefully they'll fit no worries. Can't wait to mount them.

terrible idea... the rotating diameter would be too large for even the rear...
im running a 235/35/19 and that was a lot of work... ideally a 255/30/19 should be 625mm diameter which is perfect for the kit.... i will be stepping down to 17s in the coming months and doing an entirely new set up...

Finally got the Perrin over pipe in. Much quieter without the exhaust leak and sounds amazing. The HKS is more lively with the catless pipe.

Got some new wheels on! Working on making them fit with absolutely no rub issues lock-to-lock. But they look amazing... More pictures to follow.

Currently I'm on stock struts with eibach pro-kit lowering springs. Installed white line front and rear end links and sway bars today. BC BR coils are going on as soon as I get them back.
