This. For the people running a lot of tire up front you can't get around rubbing at and approaching full lock.

I loved my hankook v12's on my R32 - until I pushed the car hard with a BBK installed. Great bang for the buck street tire but ultimately, not quite up to snuff.

Crappy iPhone pics but I just test-fitted my 17x8 RPF1s with 245/40/17 ZIIs in them. Had to switch back to the snow tires unfortunately but they'll go back on with RCE Springs in a few weeks for autox season.

I love boost!!!!!!

JerryMichaels7 · 03-10-2014, 11:27 PM

same size with a 38 offset has been proven to work, why not just go with that ?

Jive Turkey · 03-11-2014, 02:48 PM

+30 would require some camber to fit right, thats too aggressive to be functional IMO.

It'll fit, all depends on the setup and adjustments you make. At 255/35 and about 1.5 to 2 inch drop, I'm perfect to where I'm not rubbing at full lock.

Can't wait to see 265!

Make sure you post up pictures
