you will need to roll rear, 100% shave rear bumper corners/tabs. in the front roll the part by the side markers and etc if you haven't don't so already. you will rub on hard bumps, but i don't know what type suspension you have. but with some camber, because youre offset isn't that low i think you can make it work with like -2.5 up front and -2 rear if you roll well as far as how much you can fit, i know people going as big as 285, but in all honesty if you have a good tire nothing more than a 265 is required, if that.

because your offset is low you should go no wider than 255/35, especially if you go with the type of tire you describe, most run wide, and if you want to not rub, without running crazy camber and actually have a somewhat okay handling car. Quote:
look into SPC arms, they are affordable and work well. much easier to adjust (can't stand aligning my fucking car cuz of cusco arms) |

but once again, with your offset, you'll need a 255. 265 will be too tight without more serious pulling/camber. |

If I got to make adjustments I will do what it takes. Thank you for your input though. I'll have to look in to those tires. I daily drive this car so I don't want to have to replace my tires every month lol. Is there anyone else with high torque numbers?

almost all the local people who auto-x and track run these and have zero issues, i've yet to see it slip or fail, unless others can show otherwise? i'm going to be switching to them, you can buy my Cusco's if you want. |

Curious about the issues you have aligning with the CUSCO LCAs, can you expand on that? I just picked up a set without toe arms to help out with the stance when I'm aired out, but I want to redo the alignment on my drive height. Would be nice to know what to look out for.

the way they are in the subframe, with the car lowered you cannot fit a wrench in there, period. so you either use a punch (which is what i do) to rotate the nuts, or you have to lift the rear to let the arms droop, adjust it, lower car, settle a bit, check alignment, repeat. this takes for fucking ever. unless you wanna run crazy camber, the cusco are jus a PITA to adjust. quality is great, very solid and etc but adjusting them is the most annoying thing. if you do not align your car yourself, you have nothing to worry about here besides possibly paying more labor. |
