depends on who you talk to and what you're looking for. i wanted more grip and got it. if you want the tail-happy slide-around feel that the stock tires have, you'd lose it. some don't like staggered setups for various reasons, some do for their own reasons.

the gap isn't going to close unless you get larger diameter tires, then your speedo will be off. i stuck to as close to the stock diameter as possible, and closed the gap by lowering the car.

i don't know whether that setup would rub as i never ran it with the stock height - i lowered my car before i got my wheels.

Oh sorry forgot to mention im getting 18inch. Yea i think the speedometer would be off but I assume it wont be that off. I would drop my car for 1 inch to close the gap but I dont want to mess with camber and coilover since I want to retain the balance of this car. I know thats kind of retarded since I am going 255/35 rear. and I didnt wanna do a stagger but apparently 9.5 would not fit front without camber.

Sucks about the front corner, but what dash cam is that? I've been considering getting one and that one looks nice from your pictures.

I would have called the local DPW and report flying debris damaged your car, they usually will either apologize or offer compensation...not the whole thing but something.

That appears to be the Samoon 3H2F if I am not mistaken. I am saving for the DR550GW from blackvue if only they can get the video quality up on the 2 channel one.

It's this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-HD-1080...E:L:OC:US:3160 Seems to be pretty good so far, I guess time will tell. For $52.00, I'm not expecting too much.
