Finally got new wheels!
Bama, depends who you buy them through. I got them through a local shop at a VERY good price because my friend is good friends with the owners.
I'm a pic ***** today holy. Now that I'm home and on my good monitor, I took a couple more pics in my driveway!

Thx, its my dads, 02 Boxster S.
No there isnt enough room for 245s, thats why Im running 205s, because without the stretch, it'll stick WAY out with this offset, even with my neg camber.

I'm going to run 225/50/16 on the exact same rim. It'll be on a white vert that currently has stock suspension. Advice on the color rim? I love the Hyper Black and that's what I'm thinking.
I'm loving the pics. All of them so far have been saved to my desktop. Props to a beautiful set-up.

I'd prolly go black with yours.. Careful with the 225s..they'll stick out sooo far outta your fenders.
Lee: NO more low, the tires hit in the front all the time and yeah.

more camber up front and a little more low.
tuck a little tire in the back, perfect.
im about the same up front 16x8 and a 205/50 except im at +15 and an inch or so lower.
i only rub on full lock countersteer. i need more spacer or less camber cause im barely kinda sorta sunk.
a little more camber or some 195's and you should clear everything up front just fine.

lower sidewalls on a stretched tire isn't such a good idea on a daily driver.the slightest sharp pothole or uneven pavement while turning could seperate the tire from the rim.i know there are people who have like 35 or 30 sidewall tires that are stretched but half the time they are showcars.and those who say the drift w/ them they stay on the rim for like a few months at most.not a few years.
plus shorter sidewalls are generally stiffer making it a bit harder to get to seal.

even if he ran 40's he wouldnt be bending wheels on potholes, althought with such a low profile it would look retarded.
im telling you, more camber or 195s, or both, and your GOLD.
i ran 215/35/18 and those were TINY and i hit all kinds of horrible potholes and guess what? no bendy.
**** like 215's on a 10.5 or 235's on a 11 or 12 will have debeading problems. 205 on an 8 is barrrrely stretched. corolla guys run like 175/185 on 8's all day with no problems. i know a few guys who run 205's on 9's and are completely fine.
Yeah I know 205 is barely stretched, which is what I want. Ideally I don't wanna stretch at all but I can't fit under the fenders without something less wide.
