caLi4G63...This was the ride height from my previous set-up...RT-615's (245/45's on CE28N 17x9 +35). I was able to tuck the tire into the fender without any fender modifications with the 615's...-1.4 rear camber. So now I have to raise the rear some, along with rolling the fenders a little.

DarkMastyr...I'm running around -2.7 (f) / -1.4 (r) camber...obliviously. As of now this is not my DD, but I do drive it to the autocross events.

bluebanana23...I left the stickers on to take some pics...I have to raise the rear some before I take her out for a test drive sans stickers.

bunga...According to TireRack, they are DOT legal.

pat.ter.rick...Concur...I need some VII tails.

1NastyEvo...Love them KW's.

Nice wheels, nice meats, and I saw the familiar KWs under there too.

Great setup!

But neither tires nor the rims are legal in STU, so I don't know what you mean by that. With those rims, you'll have to run BSP at least, and in BSP, you have to have meaty race rubber to compete. A048s won't cut it and neither will 255-width tires. Your sig also says SM, so is that where you'll be running? You don't plan to compete with only 255 A048s, though, right? My 285-width V710s are barely enough to compete.

For a daily driver, these are great tires and decent rims, but you said it's not a daily driver, so I dunno...

I like!

Not sure on the 9.5" with 255's being optimal, but I like the idea at least. Good to see someone sporting A048's. I'd like to know how they handle on the road-course, but doesn't sound like you do that kinda thing
