Lol, fair point!

Because otherwise I would not have fenders anymore, haha. The fronts are chewing at the fender liners with the 225s due to the ride height. It's something I wanted to try as all of my other wheel/tire setups have been more meaty (see the M3 above). Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with it and given the power of the car, it doesn't really need anything wider for street driving IMO. For what its worth, I plan to run a 245 on a 17x9 when I finally have some free time to take the thing to a track.

Fair enough!

One of the nicest looking brzs ive seen for sure. What fender mods have you done? We need a quality ass shot though, gotta show off the stance and the camber arms!

xxscaxx · 07-28-2013, 12:54 AM

We have the same exact taste because we keep buying the same exact shit hhaha

brz_guy · 07-28-2013, 04:26 AM

Tastefully modded!

No fender mods! I'm quite rapidly eating through my fender liners and they are naturally taking their own shape to accommodate. I'm sure that if I went down to a 215 in front, I'd rid myself of all the rubbing, but I think I'll wait until next season. Rears still have a bunch of room, so I may widen those wheels when it's time to take them off.

I need to differentiate us a little bit!

So far so good. I'm still etuning but it is so much more enjoyable with the added power. Nothing crazy but I was only looking for something minor without going overboard like I did with my old sti.

Looks great man, i'm a bit biased though

Haha well I've got painted reflectors and a brushed wheel face on the classics...we're practically opposites.
