[Gearhead_42]

17x10 out back, 17x9 in front :)

I live right outside State College

I saw your wheels and said "sweet, another with good taste" :D

Then I saw sr20goofus' car and thought it was mine in a mirror... we even have the same headlight pop on opposite sides ;)

255/40 Nitto NT-01 (275/40 rear) Stickier than... well, something really sticky :D

Not A6 or V710 sticky, but I can drive to events on these and still have a reasonable expectation of them lasting most of the season!

what offsets are your wheels? Did you pull the fronts?

I'm getting my tires and wheels hopefully tomorrow shipped... if all goes well... so ill be picking them up... im kind of excited.. but wont be installing i tall until i get the other stuff installed.. but ill take pix too ;)... ill be running 17x9+17 255/40/17 rt-615, so ... looking at your fronts its right there at the limit hehe, looking nice though.

Fronts are +22, rear +18

I rolled the front and gave a very light pull with the good old Eastwood fender roller. Worked great when I was just running 245 up front but now... based on the rub from the last event I'll just cut them and install the other pair of flares I have. Down the road I'll spring for some +30mm fenders instead, but for now I'll run her ugly :p

Where the rub was coming from :D

Edit: This was the old setup, on 16" SA3R Advans... and very used up V700s... no, it wasn't a drift event ;)

**** then ill definetely have some fitment issues in the front lol... its 17x9+17 and urs is +22 and u were having issues and it was on 245/40/17 that it was okay, but now with the 255s u were having issues and im 255s on a +17... AND u already rolled/pulled/whatever... oh mama... lol... this shall be interesting (advices very welcome haha)

[Gearhead_42]

The old ones were 245/45 16, but yes... you may have some issues :o

Budget for some origin fenders maybe? Or be prepared for a BIG pull at a minimum...

[a_ahmed]

Well.. I HOPE I pull it off (no pun intended hehe), I just bought more **** holy crap im on a spending spree (new exhaust from BRM, cusco engine mount, peak perf race tranny mounts, ss clutch line, new slave and master, shift boot heh), and i dont want to spend another 300 lmao... :'( Hmmmm.... I know a 30mm front fender would be perfect but then I would be tempted to buy fender braces too wihle im at it lol

Well I am going in for an interview on Monday 2pm for a new job (big printer/IT company), I hope all goes well.... I was able to impress Microsoft on one of my last interviews lmao but I rejected the job offer... (long story short), but another interview I went to after that I screwed up so much... and I felt so down lol... so I didn't go for nothing afterwards... this one I WANT... and I hope I get it, would be a great help lol. I would be getting 10-15k/year more which would kick ass in so many ways, plus higher position... plus its only 8km from my home (less gas spent + less traffic rush hour headaches). Wish me luck guys :)

This will help me repay debt lol and buy more car stuff :P

You should start a thread with all the **** you're buying instead of cluttering up everyone else's threads.

Just a thought.
