yeah i didn't have time to update, but the car is totaled. went into a guard rail.

i parted everything out, all i have left is my wheels and suspension. i'll probably post them up on here in a bit, just don't have the time of day between work and dealing with all the fall out.

i will truly miss this community and the BRZ, i'm waiting for m new car to arrive (got a new XV for a daily) and will be looking to get something on the side.

if anyone wants the getters or my coilers pm me, its all ready to go. FYI the getters in the size offset and color are discontinued

Thanks bro, I got the same rims in 2P with the same specs. Glad to see how it will look, the 2" drop seems perfect, difficult not to scrape?

Na scraping isnt an issue, i have no front lip tire and wheel size is great on this car, toutch of neg camber in front brings it in perfectly

Is there a reason you didn't go 245? They have a closer diameter to stock for speedo and according to willtheyfit.com have the same poke as 255's, and a lower ride height.

This is the meaty tire thread.
Compromise.
255's fit better on 9.5.
That 1%(or less) difference in speedo means almost nothing.
245 sit lower, but 255 fills in the wheel/fender gap better.

Im dropped 2 inches i dont think the 65s would fit in the front without rolling fenders or more camber than i want to go with my offset, and i wanted to stay square.. But i envy you.
