I think it looks good the way it is! But then again, I'm not there to see it in person haha. Nice wheels and fitment though!

I've always loved your wheels and fitment too. I gotta be honest though, if you don't rub at any corner I'll be astounded haha. It looks SOOOO good though.

lol i know, but since he said he wanted to raise the back i thought the best option was to push him to lower the front more


I had to raise mine at the last pavs meet btw. **** was too low that once i pulled out of my driveway and barely shifting to second gear i heard a squishy and saw bunch of smoke thru the mirrow both rear sides were rubbing

I've had this setup since June of this year and I've only driven the car for a total of 8 times in that time frame...I'm currently awaiting on a new Apexi computer and hopefully I'll finally be able to get some seat time in my baby.

Anyway the couple times I was able to get some spirited driving in (on ramps and such) she stuck like glue and response was incredible. A tad loud w/windows down and cruising but didnt rlly bother me @ all. Once they get warm is when they really shine though.

Since I'll be tracking the car, I kept it even all round.

I dont have any really good profile pics of the car yet, but my boy wants to do a photoshoot (legit) once I get her back up & running this week.

if u are trying to find info on if u should switch to them. i used to have them on my rears for a while , great feed back and really grippy, heat pretty well, but are a bit noise and i absolutely hate mounting/demounting them on wheels. If u can find a set of ad07s or ad08's they feel just as good with less noise (atleast to me lol).

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. Was actually looking at either the Dunlop Star Specs (cheap route) or Pilot Sport Cups (pricey). Was a little concerned that the PS cups wouldn't last long and could be extremely hard to handle in conditions where any moisture exists

demounting is easier than mounting and mounting mine were a breeze did all four mine in under 25 min and that was a 240/40 o ona 18x10 wheel...slipped right on. The potenza re11 area quality made of a quality compound compared to other cheapies out there

I look forward to seeing more of this. I want to see the rears on there haha. I've been looking at getting a set of Classics but I like those LM20s too.

For my last set of wheels I was looking at the Ventus V12s and I read a lot of good things about them. Those were the tires I was going to get if I hadn't gotten the AD08s.

Well of course it's not gonna rub if the car isn't moving. LOL

Seriously though, with those offsets I doubt it would rub, aside from maybe on the lip if you don't have the fenders rolled. Your rear doesn't look that low though. You might actually not rub on the front either.
