you can fit a 9" in the rear, with a stretched 205

the front depends on your offset, with a 195-50-15 the tire was resting on the fender, now its 5 degrees negative and ive got tons of clearence.. when i get billys coilover kit im going to drop it more in the front and i can add more camber if i need to. i want the biggest lip, and as slammed as humanly possible

on my drag car i run a 9 inch wheel but the tire is a 26"X 11"X 15.. thats what fits the rim

it simply depends on the purpose, style your going for on the specific vehicle

That looks gansta...

I use ST springs as well for now. With the stereo gear in the back and under full throttle the ST springs bottom out. SO I am going with Respeed stuff all around.

how close is your setup to your springs though???? (backspacing?)

and correction.... you can fit a 10 with a 225-45-17 no

How much negative camber are you getting with those plates and stock springs? Also, what inserts are you using in the struts?

about 4-5 degrees negative.. im using the early mr2 rear tokico illumina inserts, they are 2" shorter and the shaft size is slightly smaller so the camber plates fit right on(no turning reqd.) if you need the part # pm billy..

hey robert are you running any spacers or adapters on your car or is that the bolt pattern. i think the gsl-se has 4 x114.3 but im not positive. i was just wondering what you thought about getting wheel adapters to go from the 4x110 to a more popular pattern like 4x4.5 hub centric too of course.. i priced some out for my gs for 85 a piece... what do you think?

no spacers or adapters, wheel adapters push the wheels out even further... i dont reccomend them..... the wheels i got, and most wheels are lug-centric.. to be hub-centric would mean alot more wheel specs/wheels... the wheel mfg's dont like that
