255/40 is a little tall, why didn't you go with 255/35?

With the stock alignment of 0 camber, that's possible. I have -2 camber with 17x8+42 and I can just fit my fingers between perch and wheel. His setup would be 19 - 4 = 15mm closer and I easily gained that or more on the outside when I went to the new alignment.

Again, the downside will be if he ever wants to put a real alignment on the car he'll have to get coils.

as am i, took a gamble hoping they would clear. i have about a 1/16" clearance, if im lucky, from tire to spring in the front, rear are no problemo.

no rhyme or reason really, just tried imagining in my head what i wanted and a larger side wall kind of appealed (mental image wise). i dunno, i like they way it turned out ALOT, so im hapy.

sorry for crappy ihpone pics. best i could do.

^@White Holy, that's meaty. Any rubbing issues?

WHITE · 07-13-2013, 12:13 PM

rubs ever so slightly at full lock on the firewall plastic piece, nothing to worry about at all. And it rubbed somewere in the rear when i was doing some "spirited" driving and the suspension fully compressed, im thinking it was on the rear wheel arch but im not possitive, again nothing to lose sleep over.
