Wheel Directory: Gram Lights 57Xtreme 18x9.5 +40

[Jive Turkey]

i'm not too worried. it wasn't an issue on my STi and i ran 275's on that car with equally aggressive fitment. i just regularly wax so it kind of helps i guess? but in all honesty i can't think of anything that looks good and functions well.

so square wheels with staggered tires? any reason for this? and depends what tires, some 255's run wide like 265's.

lol my fault, I meant 255's all the way around. not just in the front.

[Jive Turkey]

its really preference.

there are 255's out there that will fill this out just as much as the tires i have. 255 should still be find though, and not be stretched. assuming you're talking 255/35 though. i think a 40 sidewall will just be too big. either way, as you can see with my car, you can still be fully functional running this kind of setup.

right on. i was planning on going with 265/35, but then you mentioned the rubbing up front. to be honest your stance is perfect, i just don't wan't to pull my fenders or anything like that.

your car looks awesome though, mean stance yet functional

to be honest no need to full. i used a heat gun and a the end of a screw driver which was rubber coated and just pushed the edge in giving it a roll. you can feel where it flares out inside the fender towards the side markers. but really it only was an issue for me on the passenger side

the rear however WILL rub regardless on the bumper edge, i just let it rub itself out and now i have no issues, but if you want to dremel it slightly then go ahead.

otherwise i say get 255/35 ZII's. those are still meaty as fuck.

went to evo v Sti day saturday. got a lot of positive comments on the car, i'm happy people like it as much as i do. i'm still torn on the ride height, it handles so well i dont want to ruin it, but in photos it just looks like i have a shit ton of gap when in person its no where to be seen.

big thanks to Jon Tuazon for the great shots of my car. see his page for great coverage!

I'd personally leave it as is.. The car looks phenomenal the way it sits.. It looks as if it has form and function.. While I love a super low car sitting in a parking lot.. I lmao at the idiots that damn near stop for a rail road track or a small dip.. Or even better the dumb asses that send out scout cars in front to check the road.. Yes in so cal they do that shit..

Yours is perfect, and a inspiration to many.. I want that same look, and was going after the same rims, but I think I decided on the 57DR's,

as stated already, it being fixed. no need to come into a thread and not read anything i posted. i see you have a mustang so i understand that camber adjustment is a new idea in the rear

all joking aside i'm getting aligned/corner balanced tuesday. i'll update this thread with more technical info soon.

I definitely want to see some pics of the fitment when you adjust the camber.

snap a photo of the desktop and photos will be updated :happy0180:

They are only concave in 9.5" width unfortunately
