J O?

Anyway I think I know what you're getting at, and I agree. I'm not a fan of stretch unless it's actually needed to tuck. I could get 255/35 or 265/35 on these and still not rub, I wish I had. :/

Just the 6 pot fronts, you don't need the rears. I have the shitty lower spec solid disc rear brakes, and just with TRD pads in the back they match the Wilwoods up front. I'd go as far as saying the rears with the TRD pads are too much, and are better matched to a more agressive pad in the Wilwoods; not the BP-10 they come with. I'm going to the track this week hopefully, will see how they are matched to the polymatrix-d pads I have in the front now.

Moar pics..

Love the stance. Did you have to make any adjustments to make it fit properly? How much are you lowered?

No adjustments at all, apart from some front camber.

I'm lowered 55mm / 2.25"

Really happy with the setup, no rubbing, clears speed bumps etc.

Nice man. Looks much better now. I finally ordered mine. Gonna go with bigger tires like you mentioned though. On the front I'm thinking 235/35 maybe... Gonna try and squeeze a 255/35 on the rear 9.5" I pray it works out lol

I had the wheels off today and checked a couple of other brake kits.

Both of the essex ap racing kits (sprint and endurance) fit.

It's def stretched, but it's a legal stretch. What I mean by that, is that NZ, the law states we're only allowed to fit a tyre onto a wheel that the tyre manufacturer has permitted.

I planned on getting 255/35's, but they weren't in stock so I went with 225/40 and I regret it. In most situations, stretch looks stance nation (ie shit)
