To each his own. I'm happy with what I have

Lookin GOOOOD Evan!

Thanks again for being so patient. From the pics, I think it was worth it. The car looks pretty damn hard if you ask me

Good call on painting the valve stems btw... I don't know why Work doesn't have any black stems... that's a fail.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Regards,

Francis@aspec

I wonder if you drop the car and put some negative camber up front and rear for better look and fitment, will you be rubbing the ground with the inner lip of the rim during hard cornering, since you are streaching 245 tire on a 9.5 rim ?

I have 255x40x17 on 17x9.5 rim. When dropped with -1.5 and -1 in the rear car car looks awesome and even more aggressive.

I might actually do that (lower everything and get a little more camber). I currently have -1.5 camber and -1 in the rear. I already tried lowering the front and really it only rubs at full steering lock.

If I go lower in the rear I would need to roll the fenders just for driving over uneven pavement. I think hard cornering would be fine how as it is, even if I dropped the rear another inch. Unfortunately, the roads are so terrible in MI that lowering the rear isn't an option at this point. Also I'm trying to keep the rake close to stock.

I don't think thats possible unless you run like, 30 degrees negative camber. 245 on a 9 isn't that bad.....

Bad is when you shoehorn a 195 on on a 10. You can thank the drift segment for that one LOL. It's the ongoing struggle to appeal to the "flush police"
