unless you can get the 8.5's in a lower offset i dont think they are the concave face.

255 i prefereance, some 255 run wide so you'll be more then fine.

the car feels great. i was at autocross yesterday and i ran pretty good times, faster than some cars that i shouldn't be keeping up with at all. it does like to push a bit though, so i think i'll need front bar. it does feel a tad slower in 1st and 2nd because of the added weight but it isn't anything crazy. its still very peppy. even though it does have 265's i can still rotate the car just fine.

update.

once we set hte camber in the rear to -2, we were limited and couldn't adjust the to and it was toe OUT by about 5/8'th of an inch. i ordered whiteline adjustable toe arms so until then i cna't attest to how it drives, feel etc etc.

however we also did a few bushings and inserts to stiffen the car up. updates will probably be in a few weeks as i wont be around.

but if all you care about is MPG's then you shouldn't be in a brz anyway

Is it not possible to have less than -2* of camber in the rear?

[Jive Turkey]

not with this setup. go to a higher offset + whiteline bushings. -2 really isn't a lot.

its really the same thing, you just have to compensate in either tire size, or how low you will go. the rest should be the same.

Just put the Gramlights 57 Extreme 18 x 9.5 +40 offset on our FRS. We're really happy with the way them.

I got the wheels from Adam at No Limit Motorsports, he was great to deal with and took the time to answer all my questions. I would buy and deal with them again in a heartbeat!

The tires are 255/35 Toyo Proxes R888, with NO rubbing. I went full lock in either direction and it was fine. I'm dropping the front and back of the car more today, I will let you know if I notice any rubbing.

I'm running Cusco coil overs and originally used the SPC rear lower control arms... I would never buy them again. Both of them broke while on the alignment rack trying to adjust rear camber. I plan on designing and manufacturing our own rear lower control arms but in the meantime I got the Agency Power arms. I also have SPC adjustable toe arms, I was not able to get as much rear toe as I needed with the stock rear toe arms.

The car is going to get aligned again today and I will share the specs I align it to.

What brakes are those?

The brakes are from Neo Motorsports. 330mm front rotor with a 6 pot caliper and 300mm rear rotor with a 4 pot caliper.

My first choice was Brembo for AP Racing, both out of stock when I was building!

Nice car

I will get some more shots tomorrow at the Tri State Tuners meet. The only thing I don't like about the wheels is the front has a little too much poke for my liking. I have Seibon wide body front fenders on order which will help eliminate the poke a bit.

[Jive Turkey]

had some fun sunday, proof that you can look good and be functional.

Jive any rubbing while doing the hard cornering at the autox?

Doing that turns on the boomerang but it also turns on the side marker lights and taillights. I just want the boomerang and DRL to be one. According to the photos, Turkey is able to just have the boomerangs on with the DRL.
