Very Nice specs... been researching specs for my FD.
these seem close to what i'd like to run.
debating between 10s and 10.5"s wide out back.
with 20's to teens offsets.

For stock body and +22 id do a 10.
BUT if your modifying the rear fender then go 10.5 or higher
With the 10.5 ull have to roll the fender and run slightly stretched tires at the least.
I choose 10.5 because im either gonna be pulling the fenders or gonna use the extra burnout rear fenders i have on the shelf.


ps-the burnouts fenders i have are for sale

Very nice. Is that a rear flare or an insane pull? The front and back fenders look different colors than the rest of the car

That's Hisashi's FD. Rears are pulled and flared if it makes sense , reason for the 2 tone color is because the paint will only stretch so much before it cracks or comes off, so he has them primed where they were worked on.

Finally got some Coilovers for mine, got rid of them horrible springs and struts.



The fronts have been raised sine this picture by quite a bit.

I can't believe your rear don't rub. What is your spring rate? I got 12k front and 10k rear and my rear tires rub in the inner arch when my tank is full and i still got 1/2 inch of wheel gap.

I have the same spring rates as you with my coilovers set all the way to hard on the dampening setting. The drive is great though, a lot better then the shocks/springs I had on there.

They do rub a little, well the rear drivers does as that fender doesn't have as much pull as the other one, and the other one tucks slightly more then the drivers side. The arches were pulled in about 2 hours, it was only to get the clearance.

I've also forgot to mention the rears now have a 20mm spacer, the wheels are 18X10 et12 but with the 20mm spacer they're more like 18x10 et -8.

The camber needs adjusting and I think I'll be all clear.

-Eibach springs 1"drop front 1.5" drop rear (before you say anything...yes I'm going to coilovers/lower soon)
-Rolled rear fenders
-Feed front fenders
-needs slight alignment done.
*also I'm still debating between feed rear fenders or a very aggressive pull in the rear. I'm leaning towards doing the pull tho.

vs

Stock (of coarse)
16x8 +50 all around

-Tien coilovers (set very low)
Love the side by side very helpful!
