How was it lowered and you fit 26's? I had to raise my coilovers like 1-2 inches higher than stock to fit my MT 26x8x15's....looked like a 4x4. there are pictures floating around of my car somewhere, i don't have them anymore because when my computer crashed I lost everything! Next time i go to the track, i will take pictures!

trust me..the car was 1 inch lower than stock..I know because I set the ride height with 17 inch rims then it went for a alignment.

hell look at the pics..the tire fit right in the wheel well and it didnt sit to high..if you run street style rims you can fit these big bastards under the fender but with race rims you have to 4x4 it.

BTW those wheels are racing hart cpO-35's

We had MT 26x8.5x15's on Duc's EJ6 last season but swapped them for GY 26x10x15's this year, they clear but the car can't really be lowered (and there's still no turning radius due to the fact that they start to rub.) Here's a few pics too.

Street driving


Last season on the Mickey T's with Brian's tiny Rota's in the rear.


This year on the Good Years (we took the side skirts off to wash the car but they're back on now)
