This looks fine. 255 on a 9.5 is a great size.. and keeps in mind this car doesn't need massive meats on the wheels in stock form.

I plan to run 9.5 square with 245/35. For me, 255 is still more tire than needed.

I'm happy for you too. It wasn't a critisism.

wwll, my weekend plans just got squashed...Tracked my springs, they were suppose to arrive on friday, now says monday. Damn.

Wonder if its still worth it to jack up the car and remove/prep everything to be ready?

It took me three hours total to install my springs. I read DarrenDriven's DIY, it helped a bunch. Before the install, I went and got wrenches and T-handle allen's for the top nut.

Looks good, anxious to see how it looks lowered. I'm looking at the same wheel/tire size for mine.

Very very nice. We are considering concave 3SDM 18x8.5 +35 // 18x9.5 +35 for our FR-S and this proves that it will look awesome.

Nice aggressive look without taking too much attention away from the car. I like!

Lol, I highly I appreciate your compliments, it's tough choosing a wheel that looks nice and still maintains functionality. I track my car often so full travel of my suspension is a must.
