Just gotten this set of lovely rims delivered to me recently and done a wheel sealant on it prior on tire fitting. Was on stock struts and therefore I had to put camber bolts so that the wheels can tuck in further.

God knows 200HP needs 255's.



I love those wheels, you need a slight drop. 20mm.

Listen, i have 36,000 miles on my car and i'm still on stock height. The bottom of my bumper is all white and has been repainted before, my pinch welds are also scarped as well. Anything more then 20mm for a daily driver is asking for trouble. You know how shity the roads are here.

And yes, i drove through that horrible snow storm we had a few weeks ago no problem. You wanna talk to the lowered Honda accord i had to help push out of the snow? I'm sure he'd love to explain to you how it was a bad idea.

not planning for any suspension change at the time being and still monitoring if the front spring perch is rubbing the tire wall as it is very very close to it. Had ordered some 3mm spacers if rubbing occurs.. but so far so good.. never hear any rubbing sound ............yet

255/40 are pretty expensive over at Australia and most likely will rub against the spring perch.. 235/45 at least gave it a little stretched look.
