Thanks guys! I love the way it looks. I am SO glad I did it. Next step is the SPC front camber and all the GT Spec parts once I get word that they'll work with the MXP exhaust.

Front Camber kit should be in soon. Probably gonna readjust everything to be exact at each corner, if possible.

looks good. rears could be a little more aggressive but fronts definitely need work.

I had 275's on the rear but didn't like the stretched look. Wish the rear wheels were 11" wide w/ that 305 but for now it'll do. The fronts just need the camber kit which should be arriving on Monday. Factory specs all around after that. Maybe 1/4" lower too... Scratch that, I'll leave the SLAMMED look for PFizzle, LOL.

could you post some close-ups of the front and rear but angled more so we can see the gap better? thanks.

I'll try and get some more up later but there is no fender gap, LOL. Can't even get 1 finger in straight along the top of the tire. You can (barely) get 1 up in between the tire and the fender.

That came out really good. I'm gonna have to ditch my 285 next time around and move up a few sizes.

Thanks, I honestly think on a 10.5" wide rim that 285-295 would be ideal. I think the 305's look more menacing bue would sit more flush on a 11" wide rim.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any difference visually between 285 and 305 and when you look at it, it's only .5" wider at the cost of less accurate speedometer readings, greater height and chance to rub. Doesn't add up somehow, you'd think they'd at least be 1" wider.



285's...

305-285 = 20mm. 25.4mm = 1in. so they're going to be less than 1" wider plus some width loss in the curve of the sidewall. plus you didnt use the right size - 305/25/20. will still be less accurate than your 285s but slightly more rubber.
