Rear should not have issues but my alignment need to be re-done since I installed the Cusco trailing arms and lateral links. I am at almost 0 camber in the rear right now.

Special thanks to T3h Clap for allowing me to constantly PM him with questions.

Get some -1.7 or so maybe -2.0 rear camber dialed in and watch that tire come right under the fender

I enjoyed helping you out on this project, keeping my skills sharp.

I shot you a PM btw.

Love this setup.

Damn those tires look NASTY!

subwrxkid · 02-20-2008, 03:31 PM

can you do me a HUGE favor! More than you have already done. lol

Can you take a picture of the car from the back so I can see how wide those tires look? Like from ground level or something.

importfanatic17 · 02-20-2008, 03:35 PM

Nice, those rims and tires look badass!

05cgm · 02-20-2008, 08:47 PM

Will do. Hopefully I can get off of work tomorrow at a decent hour to snap a few more pics for you.

Thanks all.

Here you go D. Hope this helps. Lighting is not the best under the car.

Front

subwrxkid · 02-21-2008, 08:25 PM

omg omg omg omg!

now that is beastly.

Get an alignment so I can judge whether these tires will work for me or not!

Soooooooooooooooooooo sick!

05cgm · 02-21-2008, 10:35 PM

Alignment coming soon. Have to get the car running (almost there) and get the rear camber plates installed AND do the front Cusco camber plate mod. Oh yeah, AND finish the baby's room.

Soon man, soon.

EarlQHan · 02-21-2008, 11:57 PM

i can't stop staring at the car. it's so simple and so clean. i love it!

modaddict · 03-03-2008, 02:23 PM

how'd you get the fronts to fit? what mod's did you do to the fenders? how much -camber?

thanks!

dlouie87 · 03-03-2008, 03:09 PM

clean....

05cgm · 03-03-2008, 03:49 PM

Believe it or not, fornt fits fine with just -2 camber. No spacers, fender mods or anything else. Rear is suppossed to fit with -1.2 camber which I don't have as you can see in some of the pics. My rear camber plates are on the way along with stiffer spring rates (10/8) so that should be dialed in within the next few weeks. Rear also requires no fender mods according to 2 other people who have run this wheel. Only problem is the 255 R888 is a tad wider than most 255s out there. Should be fine though.

05cgm · 03-04-2008, 11:53 PM

Actually finished the install of all of my parts on the car tonight. ATP bolt-on GT30, APS inlet pipe, SPT short ram, Deatschwerks 850cc inj., Walbro 255, GrimmSpeed phenolic spacers, TGV deletes, GrimmSpeed coated up-pipe, HKS SSQV w/ recirc. kit, APEX'i AVC-R boost controller, Koyo race radiator, SSAC FMIC and wrapped Cusco header :whew!: Started her up with a new base map and realtime map from Tim Bailey and she ran like a champ! I get my Exedy twin disk installed on 3/22 and my tune date is set for Mar. 23. The tires are STICKY but I definitely need more camber in the rear as it rubs a fair amount exiting my driveway.
