Yep that was my BRZ at Summer Stance. Can you post the pictures in here? I keep forgetting to do it. I am hoping to get some new pics with the wheels this weekend. I am going to the GCA event at the Mobile Cruise Terminal this weekend as well.

I decided to not go with the Swift springs at this time. If I decide to turn it into more of a track car and less of a street car, then I will probably go with some 9k or 10k Swift springs. I just got the standard BC 8k springs, and so far I love them.

Hardly, like I said that would be if I decided to make it more of a track car versus my daily driver. I have a 2010 Tundra that doesn't care how smooth the roads are.

I have been eyeing those exact rims for a while now they should look great on the PSS.

Yeah, I need to shoot you a text with pictures of how much I have had to trim on the rear. I am still rubbing in the rear on some bumps. About ready to get my alignment done and see what numbers I end up with.

i'm too lazy at work to search, whats the final offset and tire setup?

you really had to trim that much? i've been beating up on the suspension all week and ZERO rubbing. but i have some wheel gap all around so its not slammed like most people on this site.

text whenever man, i'm always happy to chat.

18x9.5 +40 just like you, but with Michelin PSS 265/40/18 tires which come in at around 10.7 inches wide. I am running with a one finger wheel gap right now. I wish I had gone with +45s as it looks like it would have cleared the strut in the front easily.
