It's the same tire for the rear, just wider. I'll go to a t1 sport next but just trying out different tires for performance to see how each handles.

you are going to have issues with the rotating diameter in the front with a tire that big. be prepared to chop front bumper up, extension piece, inner part of fender cutaway and also grinding down the frame rail. i would step down to a 255/30/19 if you want to run that width. im running a 235/35/19 and still have issues with rotating diameter.

Yeah we're going to be working on it. Just waiting for the forgestar wheels to come in... It's be a really long process. Ordered them December 1st. Were told they would arrive January 20th. Was told they were done. Then told they weren't. They're *supposedly* supposed to be here next week and I most certainly hope so.

Anyways, They've started the body work. Checked in today and it's mostly just seeing how it's all going to fit on. They took the bumpers off and are measuring where to cut.

Also, as for personal preference, I've decided against using the front lip and side skirts. I don't like them. The lip is okay, but to me the side skirts look like a tacked on after thought. Going to go with either STI or seibon TA style skirts. Same with the lip. Either STI or TA style.

That's just lovely.

On the front bumper fender pieces they look a little rough but the guy is going to sand them and make them have the same nice edge as the rest. I know it's not meant for it, but I don't think it's too shabby.

VesperLynn · 03-08-2013, 10:45 PM

I'm thinking the fake BRZ "fuel door" (sticker) might look REALLY good on here.... Hmmm

VesperLynn · 03-08-2013, 11:58 PM

If anyone needs I can take pictures or the actual cuts at all the angles on the fenders.

ozne99 · 03-09-2013, 11:22 AM

I'm curious as to why the lip had to be cut down so much. Does that mean the bumper is a little wider than the FRS?
