Timeless 05 gt30r STI - HKS Kansai Diffuser, Carbon Couture Roof Spoiler p28 NEW PICS - Page 19

TIMELESS · 06-20-2007, 09:06 AM

^^^ Those BBSs are finger busters when it comes to cleaning and the SSRs will have more clearance between the rotor and the rim to stick my sponge through. I've always loved the SP1s because of its lip albiet our cars suck ass when it comes to a fat lip.

Hwyking, I sure will. I haven't really posted a pic of my car since I got the TiC fender braces, Sparco Harness Bar, Whiteline ALK, and JDM fogs on. Now wheels too, I think I'm overdue.

I was looking at 255/35's too but since this was my daily driving rims I felt I should have went with more cushion and save the wider treading for my track setup....but I think your tire setup would look much nicer. A 35 series tire would definitely set that lip off. Be sure to post it once you get them, I want to see those suckas on your car!

can you still buy those wheels new?
they always look good on a sti.
is that 05 sti fitment? what offset?

TIMELESS · 06-20-2007, 09:36 AM

I think Tirerack and Gruppe-S still sells them brand new. Here's the size and offset:

yea, i definitley want to see how the bar works out for ya.

In short the bar stiffened up the car a lot. The harness bar is currently removed but I left the mounting hardware on the car so reinstalling it for track days would probably take 15 minutes. Four bolts. Going up my driveway the car would flex but with the harness bar installed it definitely feels much more solid. I just don't need it daily (i.e. back seat riders) so the bar is sitting in the garage next to my harnesses.

I'm running 245/45/17 Kumho SPT's on 17x8 wheels and absolutely LOVE them.

thanks for the info.
brembo clearance is good, im guessing.
they're going to look great.

TIMELESS · 06-21-2007, 07:04 PM

I've never ran Kumho's before so I hope its worth its money.

modaddict · 06-21-2007, 09:49 PM

what's weird is Luke completely talked me out of the Kumho's? huh..... so I went with the RE01R's

Maybe it's just the differences in what our cars are used for? interesting....

XxSCAxX · 06-22-2007, 07:28 AM

alphaSTI · 06-22-2007, 07:43 AM
