you will need to pull fenders also with these specs.
I didn't have to. Mine are a bit more aggressive with more stretch. But I did have to roll the fenders. Found some rust so to hell with the pull. If anything, wide fenders later on.

Damn you have any pics of your car? I want to see how much stretch your running.
Like even with my pull I barely fit my wheels....

What happened to the BBS's?
Thanks man, I like the 255/40s on the rear, and they are azenis with good tread so I'm gunna keep those. The ESM's are off because I needed to raise my car up since I sold my TE corolla and am now dailying my FC until I buy a new car.

Thanks, I'm happy with how the color turned out, I just wanted to do something different from the usual black/white/gunmetal/silver so I went with a hi gloss gray enamel.

Yeah I was stoked when the dude wanted to trade me straight up for the Saleen Reps. The 5zigens are worth way more and they had better tires with better tread. I am super happy with them.

The first pic is me when I was 16 and just getting into the 7's. This was taken at Virginia International Raceway (mines the blue FC). Unfortunately that car was totaled by a mustang but I am now the proud owner of the gray RX8

See, that's the thing. My wheels don't "fit". I'm poking out every whichaway.

18x9.5 215/40 18x10.5 225/40 +12 all around. At that height it only rubs once in a while. It's currently a tiny bit lover. About 1/4 inch all around.

They should be able to fit nice and flush with those specs. What are your plans for the car?

At least it's not a V8!
Looks like a little inner-fender modification for more steering angle, there.

The FC is just a much sexier platform IMHO. Maybe that's why!

I wanted to wait for a real photoshoot... but I could not, I got itchy.

I officially created my "BBS GTUs" dream car. Life is complete as far as I'm concerned.
