Really Wide 17's.
I think they're technically called "steamrollers" Ha. Ha.
Wheels: 17x9 +45 Enkei RPF1
Tires: Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval
Front: 275/40ZR17
Rear: 285/40ZR17
No rubbing at all up front, no rubbing at all in the rear with mildly (read: not flat) rolled fenders and stockish (-2.0) camber.

285's are certainly fatty's. I wish our little n/a renny motors could handle wide tires, I'd love to do something in the 300 range all around.
BTW - that paint color looks AMAZING. Ugh, shinka<3

What do you mean?
Racing Beat Header
3" Resonated mid-pipe
Turbo-XS Catback with an extra 10" resonator welded in
That's not considered an exhaust?
I don't bother to polish it up, it gets covered in carbon within a few days anyway. Stock stupid-rich tuning ftw.

that picture should be the "anti-stretched tires" mascot lol.
not only does that look like it means business it also protects your wheels from curb rash, which on a daily driver.. makes sense.
nice setup, would like to see some side pics too

) I just wanted to run something super functional for my track setup. Knowing how to drive and park well protects your wheels from curb rash, not a fat rim protector.Here are a couple more pics I snapped. I'll get a better side-shot if I have time today. It was too cold this morning to want to go anywhere haha (oh noez! 40* is sooooo freezing!)
If I were to do it again I'd probably run a 9.5 +40 wheel, there's still just so much clearance.
