what unknown said, ive been rear ended 2 times in the same spot towards the passenger side, so its just retarded like that now :/

 

Looks like the tire is pushing out the rear bumper =X

Rigo, are you parked on a level surface in those pics?

Can't wait to see the final product man!

Trevor - Looks clean, but looks like you could fit a small spacer in there without much trouble

 

Naw, I am not looking for that type of fitment. Functional Fitment for me.

 

Drop looks nice Trevor. I have my Stance on now mine is about an inch higher than yours all round. Still fast enough to win the STX class by 12 seconds and beat everyone in all the other ST classes yesterday. I think I will go a little lower and balance the car, I need more camber on the front and a little stiffer at the front too.

 

Filling up fenders by a few more mm doesn't imply any less performance; throwing in a 3mm-5mm slip on spacer would improve your look without practically lowering performance in any way, assuming your fenders are rolled.

 

agree!!!

 

According to scca rulebook putting a spacer knocks me out of my current class. Fenders are rolled, and I am still rubbing. I need more camber.

 

Like you wouldn't take the spacers off before the track

 

This would be a much better reason to not add a few mm spacer, rather than saying you are looking for functional fitment methinks.

J - Anyone who runs 3mm spacers for street and takes them off for the track makes me lol

 

Why do I remove spacers before hitting the track a.k.a parking lot? Because Race Car.

 

Not an RX8 but damn, this thing never gets old. Love the 18"/20" stagger so much!

 

It would look so much better without the stickers.

 

It would look so much better without the wheels, raised up about 3 inches, rolling some beefy rubber on some RPf1's...

:/

 

Justin Pawlak's..I remember when he just started. Green FC with white 522s i think.

 

3mm spacers don't make any difference. I don't run anything less than an 1 1/2"

 

yeah i am, and yeah im close to having it right, pulled the fenders a bit more sunday, just gonna try to they the thinner tires cuz the 45s in the front run on the inside when i turn so i dont like that..lol

 

RPF1's? Seriously? lol!

JTP started before XXRs came out with the 522s. That being said, I don't think I have ever seen his car on peasant wheels.

 

Like I said, I think. Wasn't sure. Photographic memory is no good. Sorry to have offended you.

 

Why would you offend me?

 

Man I remember his car back in the day, at the willow circle track when I had my S13.

 

 

Sooooooo rad!

 

I saw drift culture was doing a feature on that car on Facebook... looks sick.

 

so finally finished setting up my stance, i will give yall a teaser shot of how it will sit now..lol..gonna get new thinner tires put in tomorrow, then drop a bit more, but as of now, here is the rear




oh and all the scratched and cuts on the thread is from the many trial an error sessions of what rubbed and what didnt..lol

 

Eek, those tire sizes scare me!

Good luck Rigo, I'm sure you can make it work. Why you getting rid of these wheels?
