I fucked up a brace, bent it after hitting a random 2" drop in an unknown town going slow as hell, and then scraping it for over 200 miles on the highway. **** happens, gotta roll with it. Cost of low life.

New wheels are here, but it's snowy, icey, and generally shity outside so I'm probably going to wait until Spring to get the Nitto's mounted and wheels on the car.

It would just sit in the garage anyways

^Fronts will be fine, You will rub in the rear. Some negative camber, a little bit of shaving on the plastic, and a roll, and you'll be fine.

that rear may actually fit fine. a little camber should make it work.

The OD 235/35 is taller than 265/30. Also the OD of the OE setup is taller than both. IMO you will want to lower your car because you will not like the fender gap.

Looks great except for the completely red tail lights and the lack of rear lip to complete the kit. It is a wheel thread and I give it a thumbs up.
