the rear bumper tab is what you're rubbing on...literally all this info is in the first post.

Some new additions. STI rear gurney flap, smoked side markers. Also grabbed some Toms tail lights (obviously not pictured) as well as some nice damage on the driver side rear wheel and bumper courtesy of a fox body mustang at the track this weekend!

Luckily the driver recognized he was at fault (trying to pass in corner which was definitely NOT one of the three passing zones) and is going to take care of the damage.

The Enkei's only got scratched (ate his front bumper) and will probably only need to be repainted. Impressed with the strength and after checking for any bends/cracks I was back out in the afternoon!

Thinking of just powder coating all the wheels to guarantee a match... thinking a matte dark grey. Could be awesome. Any input?

I know I didn't mind the rake at first but the more I look at it the more it bugs me. Definitely more noticeable in pictures though.

Finally got my setup done and ready for autox..

ST Coilovers
18x8.5 +38 Axis Super hiros with 245/35/18 Federal RSR's.. the rsr's ended up measuring out to be 254mm wide it seems lol.

18x9 +35.. Toyo Extensa HP's 255/35/18, if I decide to give this car more power I'll be changing the rears to 265+..

changing to a 265+ wont necessarily give you more traction. it all depends on your suspension/alingment all in combination with the kind of tire you're using.

better to have a 245-255 in a great tire (mpps/zII/RE11/rivals..etc) thant a 265-285 in a not so good tire.

What @Jive Turkey said is correct ! Most my buddies running over 350whp and 3xx torque cant hook up 275/265, while i have 255 r compounds and hook up perfectly

Meaty tires incoming for me, selling my 16x7 TE37s and replacing them with some 17X9s with 255/40/17 square tires.

amazingbrz · 06-04-2014, 05:06 PM

Im excited to see your set up man. I have the same tire and wheel set up but I havent lowered my car yet

Did you or are you planning on rolling your fenders or you going to rely on cambering it to fit?

I already am running about -2.5 degrees of camber so I hope it will fit.

Do you guys find a 265 is "too much tire" for stockish power levels. Im looking at doing the NT03's on 265/35/18's I love the look and would love the endless amounts of grip. I will probably up the power to hit around 200WHP, but do you guys find its too much tire, and can be a negative?

z3ro · 06-05-2014, 09:21 AM

What about meatier tires in the other direction; height? I'm thinking about dropping down to 16" rims (Sparco Terras) and doing a taller tire to get a more rally-esc look. Opinions?
