By the way....does anybody have a f**king clue how I can get my rear toe into specs. It's too far toed-in and it's buggin the hell outta me because i've already talked to a couple people on 8th that said theirs all went to zero toe.

Nothing appears to be damaged so what gives? Do i raise the car back up and set the toe with more toe-out before lowering it again?

Somebody's gotta be able to help me out.

Damn that sucks that the Classic/4s are only 4 lug, because I think they'd look even better than the Classics on an 8th gen.

if i get 17x9, ill just bite the bullet to keep getting the nitto nt555 since its the only tire available in 225/40 17 unless someone can prove me wrong. or i might stretch a 215.

Stretch the OEM. The blue FA you post on the previous page is on 17 x 9 and he's stretching stock spec tires.

I'm not talking about your car.

I'm talking about my preference, which is infinitely more important. lol

I'm going with 225/40's or 235/40's sans spacers.

I fancy the Z1's but also the RE-11's. I really wanted the RE070's but they don't make them for 18's, yet they are still OEM on the FD2 which ironically enough comes in 18 x 7.5.

i thought the re070 in that size is a jspec tire only?

but aside from the point. this sunday my rims are sold, so ill be rockin the stockies till i get the classics in the end of april i believe with the 3 week waiting period. im debating on dropping a ring nut off the front and going all the way down in the rear since im gonna be rockin super high offset stockies that enable me to go lower. and ill still have my nitto's! can you say canyon time? lol i couldnt do that with the rpf's cuz i would rub lol
