Pulled my quarters a little further than I probably needed for the rears, but an only fit a finger in between the tire and lip with the suspension compressed and it hasn't been aligned yet. Wheel specs are 18x9.5 +27 with 245/40 and rears are 18x10.5 +30 with 285/35s. Tires came on the wheels, Fronts needs to be a different size because they are too tall. I should have just gone with the size tires I wanted and sold the tires that came on the wheels before I rolled and pulled but

Pretty car. Always liked the NT03's with the concave. Wish they had better stock body fitment with the concave face.

I love the look. Good stuff!
How did you install the FEED under-skirt onto the sideskirt? Just self tapping screws and double sided tape??

Also ditto to the question above on how you handle rubbing of plastics and harness. (Harness is moved? What about plastic??)

18x9.5 et40 fit on my front and rear without rolling. I had 255/35r18 on front and rear also. Imo I could go wider in the rear. Front is def at max though.

correct just self taping screw and double sided tape.

my front only rubs on hard dip cause my car is low also running 265 in front federal rsrr... harness is relocated to top , the factory plastic retains (i have 2 spare ones)

Love the Advan GT's! I just bought a set for my rx8 and after seeing it on your FD, can't wait to put it on! Love the car! Interesting front plate, better airflow?

18x9.5 +27 front and 18x10.5+30 rear. Rear tires are 285/35 and the fronts are 245/40. I bought the wheels with the tires on them, I'll probably go with something lower profile but wider in the front and maybe a 295 rear, or a 285 rear and a spacer.
