Cool. A little too wide for my taste slash it looks like you got a little "poke" going on there. Not a fan, sorry. Probably looks better in person. Thanks for sharing though 😃

Ah 2007 was a good year. Just made the mistake of getting rid of my mint 1992 Maxima SE 5spd with the rare DOHC engine after getting a 2003 BMW 330 daily. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would own a rotary. Bought it 2 months ago and still haven't been able to drive it. Wonder if I will like it 😎

Don't cut yourself ... :suspect:

it fills the fenders, yet clears everything without any modification with lowering.

unlike yourself, I wasn’t playing around. No poke when it’s hunkered down and the camber gain is kicking in …

That's a pretty cool story bro. Wonder if it made you any faster. Probably not. You're a grandpa tho, unless that's not you driving. So it's ok.

Tire size should be the last thing you worry about. Stock size is fine for the car on the road.
What's.. 'good for the touge' really is track time to learn the car and yourself, and practice to learn the route. Touge is not where you want to find your limits, as recent social media can illustrate very well.
Here's a few clips. Car is mostly stock, just midpipe, tein flex z, ES ctrlarm bushings, sporty alignment. Stock wheels, goodyear eagle sport a/s tires 225 45 18. Hanging out with s2k, brz, zr1, z06, etc. Even on these runs, tire size is never a limiting factor. I have a front sway bar pending install though
