what tire is that? wondering if the section width is different than the one I tried (NT01). I would not have thought that a +38 would have worked without significant rubbing at full lock. to add to the picture requests, can you stick the camera back into the wheel well to take a picture of how much space you have between the tire and the spring?

near mexi

considering he's slightly poking here (which IMHO isn't 'spot on'), adding a 1/4" on both sides of your wheel isn't going to help you. Might rub on the inside too.

Perhaps it boils down to the tire, since this guy has 255's all around; if you stretch it might fit better

I think I'm the rare car enthusiast breed that is finding all of the customizations looking great on this car so far, I like the single exhaust idea on it!

It is the nt555. I'm going to change the wheel barrels and tire sizing a bit. I'll get some pics for you.

There's definitely plently of room between the spring and wheel. No rubbing.

Smaller tires would work better, but I didn't want sunken fitment. After I lower it it will work out perfect. I'll post pics for you in the future. Tons of room in the rear for a 10" wide.

Thank you!! I personally love it. And you won't be able to beat this setup when it comes to cost and weight reduction when we release it for sale.

No pull needed maybe a slight roll. Like I said I'll post pics when I get the suspension setup in a week or so.

I love the look of these wheels. Would go with silver + polished lip myself.

Don't want to think about the $$$ though, and no idea what they weigh. O.o

I's also LOVE to know the weight of those SSRs, being a 3piece rim and all.

Going with a set of Fortune Auto coilovers. Great guys and have dealt with them many times in the past.

I'm going to be stripping them down, changing the lips, and re coating them soon, so I'll weigh them then. I'm personally not a fan of the black/polished lips either but I have something in mind...
