R3 with VR G2 Type2 in 19s
Enjoy..
Specs: F - 19xx8.5 +43 R - 19x10.5 + 35
Tires: F - 245/35/19 R - 275/30/19
Comments: The rear is super flushed with no poke'age but the front can use a 15MM spacer to match. It's lowered ~2 inches on coil overs.

Thanks! I am still trying to decide whether or not to keep the S1 rear aero flares on. Good thing is that it's held on by double side tape and a single screw on the inner fender liner. So, I can take it off anytime without damage to the bumper or paint. I would prefer to find an OEM S2 rear flares similar to fiberglass piece by M's Customz.

Thanks everyone! I did have to roll my rear fenders and trim a little bit of the top plastic fender liner to clear. The mods are very minor. Will be installing some H&R 15mm spacers in the front this week with extended studs. Goddesshunter, you have first dibs on the rear aero flares if I decide to take them off.

Damn - those look really nice. I am hoping someone will post a Series 2 with some Advan RS rims. I really think it will look great, but don't want to shell out the money to try it out myself.

No understeer since the tires are not too far apart 245vs 275. However, the 275s in the rear makes the car stay much more planted in turns where you can push harder and not break the tail loose.
