I'm trying to go for a wider look, all in all, I want the tire to stick out of the body more than stock (where it is inside the body).

Also, gave her a wash and detail today. So shiny.

The quick & easy way to do this is just with spacers. Then you can save up for wider wheels to accomodate wider tires. For a 245 width tire, go with a 8-9" wide wheel.

On my 17x8s, I went from a 225 to a 245 and it definitely made the steering feel a bit sloppier. I'm about to get them re-mounted onto 17x9 wheels and am looking forward to crisper response.

Sometimes I wish WRB was available for the FRS.

As others have said, spacers or bigger wheels for a more finished look. Also, I have heard of others going to 225/45r17, but again it will affect gearing and speedometer. Also will affect fuel economy somewhat due to heavier tires and altered gearing.

Washed her up and put the winter stockers w/Blizzaks back on. Probably the last winter they will see. No Tread. I think I'm going to sell my summer wheels and get go to a full 9.5" wheel come spring!

Dat Gap!

Wrapped the center console silver pillars in alcantara. That wasn't too bad.

Need to replace the knee pads next.

Added Cusco HT pedal and practiced a little on turning downshifts to second.
Also ran thru a tank of petrol. Filled with e85 for first time, reflashed and put about 10 easy miles. Then began hot doggin it running it thru a few gears. Don't know if the ecu is still learning after another 10 harder miles, but the change felt was more dramatic going stock to oft stage 1 on 93 pump than 93 pump to stage 2 el e85.
It's great to know if pump prices rise again, ethanol may be more cost effective. Upside is I filled up a 20 bill and some change.

Swapped all bulbs out for LEDs and 6000k hid bulbs. Looks very crisp and clean. Thanks Diode dynamics!!

Spacers. You'll never get the look with wider tires. 20mm front 25mm back
