Here is my Autocross set up. 17x9 42 Rota DPT with 255/40 star specs. Dropped on kW v3 coilovers.

Don't know yet.lol. Just put them on this morning and it was raining when I took my only drive in it.

Nice,sir

Looks good... I'm just not a fan of white wheels for track cuz it gets dirty REALLY quick, but that's just my opinion. I would totally rock it on dd or for winter setup

post up when you get to drive it hard. Curious if it rubs anywhere. Looks great!

I dont think there is much chance of that. Plenty of clearance on the coiover and the fenders. for a 17x9, 42 is pretty spot on where it needs to be. Wheels are off till next weekends first autocross. Also this was at pretty close to the lowest setting and the car has went up 1/2" so far and might go up a little more. Figured I'd take a few pics, as it will never be this low again.

Bills on the same wheels, but on 245 Kooks. I'm on 255 star specs. I my go to 245s for my next set, but I had these left over from my WRX.

Probably not my first choice, but found a good deal on them used, so couldnt be picky. Bought them before I even knew what color car I was getting, so I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

If you got a great deal, then hell yeah! If price is good, I'll even rock pink Volks lol

Anyways, it still looks good

Have you run it yet with this setup? How do you like it? I tried 18x8s on 245/35s at all four corners and I wasn't a huge fan. Turn in wasn't as crisp/responsive as I'd like it to be and it took alot more effort to break the back end loose and keep it there. I ended up going 225/40 all around. To me, it felt much more responsive.

-max- · 08-04-2012, 09:41 PM

First event is next weekend. Why would you want to break the back end loose and keep it there?
