Hey Tilt how stiff is your rear coilover setting? I am asking because you are so low and wondering if your tires hit the top of the fender well when going over bumps...

Imput - I still have the FEED front and sides, I'm working with Shine on them and they still need a bit more time with them
Thanks for the compliments everyone. My car is absolutely filthy here, I had just finished fitting the wheels at my place and cruised down to my friend's house. I parked and happened to have my camera so took some pics, here are some more :-D
Mike - We can *try* test fitting these, I don't know what's going to happen. It'll be fun though!

Right now I'm still on softy hipermax rs 5k's. I'm going to pick up some uber jdm tyte coilovers that have rate's that'll put some hair on my chest some time soon. To answer your question though, I've never really had that issue. Sometimes when profiling into or out of steep steep driveways the fronts will lock up from hitting the inside portion of the bumper, but that's it.

Tilt, seeing those pics have made me want to ditch my crappy wheels and go with something better than what I have to hold me over till CCWs. 18x10.5 NT03s are the next wheels I'm getting. Tryin to decide between 255s and 265s though.
I love the squared look of your tires, but I also like a little stretch.

If I wasn't getting married, ie no money, and someone would help me fit these I would have them in a heartbeat. These are my new favorite wheel. Not much different than what I have but DAMN I love em lol.

I too enjoy stretch as well as square's out.
Silvere - they're actually 265/35's just very meaty!
Haha yeah, actually are similar to what you've got! Are your wheels JIC wheels? I can't really tell :-X

What offsets you looking to run? Also, is your car actually used for drift more than grip? I'm going to half-hazardly suggest 255/35's, you'll get a nice wheel poke

Yeah the car is used more for drift than grip. The only offset the 18x10.5 NTO3 comes in, is a +30.
