Nothing wrong with it. Want people to look at the rim instead of the blue valve stem I guess.

Yup haha. The funny thing is when I got to the tire shop that guy gave me the black one for free haha. Should have just gotten it from them. Anyway if anyone need some hook up on tires and is at Socal PM me. This shop match all the online prices and no tax, no shipping also fit the tires for you. Great deal.

Also we are using 265/35/18. They are not that skinny too pretty wide 265s.

1st one is stock. 2nd is 255. Going to use the last one 265.

My rear KWs dont give me enough camber for this setup so instead of buying new springs/helper spring/conversion kit/camber plate to use the rear camber plate(600 bucks) I will be selling the KWs and getting new n cheaper setup. I think it will be Stance gr pro. That way I get some extra money for something else. Send me a PM if you want KWs.

damn that freakin sux, but at least you got a fix. seems you can fit just about anything with those stances. glad to see you went with a nice wide tire

**T3h_Clap** · 04-24-2008, 07:31 AM

you can get -4.0 camber with the KWs.

or are you running into the strut?

crand002 · 04-24-2008, 08:52 AM

I have cusco rear camber plates with my KW T2's currently running -3.0 in the rear with plenty more to go.

Yeah suck big time. Should have be done and ready on Sat. Now got to wait for the new coilover and stuff. Yeah 255s fit fine but I guess most of the ppl want to see 265 so 265 it is. It look way better anyway with 265s.

Yup touching the strut. The tires are clear just the wheel is touching. Henry already told me it might hit the strut with the bolt type of camber and he is right haha. I did want to run the camber plate for the KWs. The thing is I got to spend like 600 bucks more just to get the camber plate and stiffer springs. On top of that Myles just sold out all of them and it got to be special order from Germany take 2-3 weeks. I will pass on the special order. haha.

Anyway everything else is fine. Getting the rest of the tires tomorrow and fender work on Sat! Hope no more other problems haha.

2006whitesti · 04-24-2008, 01:57 PM

I know yours are 18s and I have 17's but I am running the BC coils and a pretty high spring rate. Here is a picture of the clearance on my 17x10's with a 35mm offset. Camber is set to 0 in this picture.

Just trying to through some more options your way. Good luck and the car looks great.

2006whitesti · 04-24-2008, 01:58 PM

Also please exscuse the brake lines. I have had braided ones laying here for some time. LOL.

Hmm thanks that helps. So how much camber are you running right now?

importfanatic17 · 04-24-2008, 02:08 PM

^^Did you get my PM about the KWs?

2006whitesti · 04-24-2008, 02:19 PM

I am at 2 degrees in the rear and 1.5 in the front right now. I am still working out some rubbing issues. The car isn't being driven just lowered and raised, and twisted and turned every which way. When I am done there should be no way it can rub. Then go on the 285's. Also I can take more pics of the clearance if you need. I just realized that was not really a good picture because the black struts and wheels kind of mesh together.

Yeah alot of works for sure but it going to be all worth it hehe. I think the 265 for mine is pretty wide I dont know if I can fit anything bigger. I slammed the car too. I going to try as low as possible.

2006whitesti · 04-24-2008, 02:41 PM

It will be a lot of work, but like you said well worth it. Its hard for me to say how hard it will be because I haven't dealt with 18's before. What is the aspect ratio of the tire you are using?

Bishop · 04-24-2008, 04:00 PM

Damn looks like importfanatic already dibsed the coils lol, i just read through here
