Now that's fat all around
Any rubbing in front? That's about the most aggressive X fit I've seen without any major fender work (at least I couldn't tell from the pic), nice job!
BTW, if you could post some feedback on those D2 coilovers in this thread if you have some time that would be some good info for the X guys.

Those get good reviews, the Michelin Pilot Super Sports seem to get the best overall reviews but come at a price. Another tire worth a look are the Toyo T1Sports, my friend has them on his C6 Vette and they've been a great tire for him. If you ask for Andrew on this link and mention myG37 he'll get you a nice deal

being that the rear is tucked alittle as is,I doubt it. You think any fender work is needed?

The best (safest) thing to do is use the caculator and then measure from where you are.

What tire sizes are you running now? I believe the rear fender isn't flat rolled like the sedan so a roll might be needed back there. Wish I was more knowledgeable w/ the coupe setups

alright.I'm just running 245/40/19 all around on stock S wheels.I just got my other wheels so haven't done anything with them besides test fit with no tires on them.Rolling aint a huge deal since I got a buddy with a fender roller,I was just trying to get the widest tires possible without doing anything more aggressive then rolling the fenders

If you've got a fender rolling source, then 285s should work out fine. I'm running 295s on my sedan on 10" +45s and the coupe seems to have about 20mm more room to go out. So a 285 would be a go and 295 would be close, might be worth doing a dry fit w/ just your wheels since the 295s on a 10.5" will pretty much be straight up from the wheel edge.
Here's a close pic of how the 295s mount on a 10" rim~

Thanks.Damn,that looks good.Im gonna buy one 285,mount it and test fit that since I already tried just the rim and go from there to start. I'd love to do a 295 or even a 305 but my ride height and +22 offset is killing me so alittle worried about pushing my luck too far.Down the line I will just buy coils and raise the rear some so I can go more aggressive with the tires
