I sold this car to a friend after I bought the FRS and he blew it up inside of three months and completely destroyed the front bumper.

Looks wonderful and really shows that 17" can be just enough to fill the arches!

Got them installed, there is about 1 finger clearance between the lower spring perch and the wheel/tire. I don't think you will have any clearance issues. Lock to Lock I don't see any problems either. (Uncompressed anyway). I think it may rub the fender liner if compressed at full lock, but I am not sure of too many driving conditions when that would happen.

I may try and compress the front to see if there are any fender clearance issues, but I think it is looking good.

FYI, I am running only -0.7 degrees camber in the front (using crash bolts). Thats all I could get out of one of the sides while the other side would go to a little over a degree.

Here is the best picture I could take of the clearance between the wheel/tire and the springs (Top of tire, looking down)



This is 17x9 +35 with a 245/40 tire (Hankook Evo V12)
