Id let you know if I could drive it but in the middle of tuning my ecu took a Nose dive so I’m waiting for that to return from kangaroo land. No plastics in the fenders yet, and stance coilovers. I honestly don’t even remember the spring rate at the moment. I’ve been restoring this car for probably 2 years and this is after it was all together and ready to be tuned.

Big thanks to shrtyGT500, 310RX7, and the rest of the posts in this thread to help me pull the trigger on *my* perfect fitment for stock fenders. FTG: 26" Front, 25 7/8" rear on Apexi N1's. Pending a ~3/4" drop, alignment, center caps, and 5mm rear hubcentric spacer install.

To all the guys running lipped rims with low (20-30) ofsets, what mods did you do to the fender / inner fender / height to accomodate this?
Im looking at getting myself a custom set of SSR Koening, and they can be built with almost any config i want. So im trying to figure out what limits im facing.
The only thing i have managed to test fit was a Enkei RPF1 (265/35-18 18x9,5 ET45) And those where hitting the front inner fender when turning.

update. Still the same tire specs as I was breaking it in quick before parking it this fall. Raised the car a hair in the front. No rubbing, however I don’t have any plastic liners in yet. Will probably be going 255/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear with r888s or 595rsrr.

Enkei PF05s - I'm very pleased with them!
Edit: Thanks for the reminder Montego
F: 18x8.5 +38 & 225/40/18
R: 18x9.5 +38 & 265/35/18

Not sure why but my post doesn't seem to be showing up for me - I'll remove one in case it shows up later as a double post.

This is too extreme for my preference, but until I paint/install my front wides and pull the rears, it'll have to do...
Volk Racing ZE40 17*9.5 +5 front and rear 225/45 - 17 front (AD08R) 235/45 - 17 rear (Advan Fleva)
Volk Racing ZE40 17*9.5 +5 front and rear 225/45 - 17 front (AD08R) 235/45 - 17 rear (Advan Fleva)
Volk Racing ZE40 (Gold)
17*9.5 +5 front and rear (now discontinued)
225/45 - 17 front (AD08R)
235/45 - 17 rear (Advan Fleva)
Camber:
F -5.5 deg.
R -6 deg.
F/R rolled fenders
Plastics intact, but I rub the little screws that hold them in place. Wide fenders coming soon, lowered car fender roller bought, will get to the rears around the same time, so I can dial out my camber.
What do you all do about rubbing the plastics? Any solutions?
I'm thinking of cutting them so they only cover the hole to the engine bay, and using some rivets/rivnuts to keep them in place. Thoughts??

What up ya'll I need some help with tire sizing? I just had my wheels rebuilt. Originally the wheels started out as SSR Long Champ VIP's 18X8 & 18x9 +35 offset front and rear. After the rebuild the wheels are 18x10 + 25 and +12 Front and Rear. The wheels mostly resemble WORK VSXX'S. I was considering 265/35/r18 or 275/35/r18 in the Rear and 245/40/r18. Let me know what you would suggest I'm looking for a meaty set up. Thanks!

I'd suggest 255/35 and 265/35.
245/40 is (way) too tall.
Good luck!

Finally got it out from storage a few weeks ago, still tuning but can cruise to places. added a 5mm spacer to the rear to make it an 18x10.5 +25 with 285/35 continentals. still need to get different tires. Fronts are still 18x9.5+27 on 245/40 Thinking of running Federal 595 Rs Pro's or RsRR in 255/35 and 275/35.
