If you read the thread from the top, I was going with 245s, but was advised to stick with 225s.

Anyone have pics of 18x9 et25s with 245s???

I've been looking, believe me!

Here's mine with 18x9 +36 with 245s.
Not the same offset, but everything else similar.

Rubbing? Camber? Lowered?

Dude seriously, think about it.

You want to run new tie rods for more lock. So you're going to rub. I showed you I rub with 225's. If you go any wider they'll rub sooner.

I did read from the top. 9th reply was me. Sorry though, I was just trying to tell you I'll post pics of the 255's when I get em, if you don't have tires by then.

Sorry, my reply sounded kinda harsh, wasn't meant to...

Today was quite the eye opener.
First trackday at Autodromo Monterrey.
A BADASS track. Back section is twisty as fuck, but a front straight long enough to get to 113 mph!

Everything was new.
New car, new gopro, new gtech, new scangauge, new to me track...
So much to learn LOL.

Here's what I realized:
a) the car is fucking phenomenal! love it. Chassis is right where it needs to be
b) cooling is a joke. Got to 275 F oil temp on a bone stock car :o
c) if I put my blower on the car, it'll go pop for sure. No way this thing will last without a serious oil cooler!!!
d) i can't set the car up for drift only just yet, as there is no drift scene, but a really cool time trial scene, so it'll have to be dual purpose (track / drift) for a while. Hence - bigger meats and if I lose a touch of lock, so be it. It'll be better than stock no matter what
e) the brakes on this car suck so incredibly hard. I mean big black cock down the throat kinda hard. LOOOL
