Actually, I did post on your thread after you put those wheels on, you probably didn't remember
My cambers are still pretty mild, -1.8F and -1.2 rear. One of the pics showed the distance between my tires and my unrolled rear fenders

Excellent tire! I have own a few sets of difference extreme perf. tires and these are the best so far. Just did a track day out at Infineon Raceway yesterday and grip was impressive. Pm'd me if you would like to hear more about this tire

What percent tint is that? It's perfect for my tastes
Thanks Just trying to keep it as simply as possible, and being in Cali, any "less than normal" looking cars would get pulled over right away
Oh btw, the tint is 35% all around

Yeah, I didn't realized that "meaty" look until I put them on! And the front track with the 20mm spacer looks "it's meant business"
It's getting dark now, but I can take a pic of caliper clearance tmr for you, there's a good 2mm gap between the calipers and the spokes.

Sorry, went washing my car and didn't notice the question. Yes, 20mm spacer is minimal requirement to run this particular size and offset. But to me, it's well worth it because the slight concavity, since this offset is meant for RWD application.

Oh, and thank everyone for the compliments, you guys really made my day

Looks awesome. I was planing on some 17x8.5 +30's. Almost the same size :P I'm glad to see it'll look amazing.

So, you did, hahaha...Sorry sir, you weren't kidding that our setups look similar...Looking at my old pic, I realize how much better my car is going to look when I finally lower it...You'll be the first to see my pics once I install my Ohlins...Take care, can't wait for the same look.

Yeah man, definitely!~ I can't wait to see them and hear from you about how are the Ohlins treating you. My current suspension setup is still a little soft for AutoX and doing lapping days even at full stiff, so when time comes, I will probably upgrade to some Ohlins, KW V3 or Zzyzx (If I have the $$)

BTW, which Ohlins setup do you have?

First off the car looks super clean and functional

How do those Brigestone's feel?

Works Stage III DFV...They are custom sprung/revalved 10k Front/12k Rear (Swift)...I bought them off a member on this forum, not sure if he would want me to put his name here...He used them for 200 miles total and only had a few track laps on them (had to call it quits because the Tilton carbon clutch purchased was locking him out of shifts)...They are brand new, I mean really perfect condition...Having put on those RE01Rs this weekend, I am so excited to see their potential when I go into STU class...I want to stay with stock power still, the only thing I am looking around for is a titanium catback...Going to have to save my money, parts are expensive...Good news is I have my brakes covered, I am using Endless CCA pads currently and will be installing StopTech brake rotors when I install the coilovers...KWs were a top choice for me, but by the time I got them revalved and sprung accordingly, I would have paid what I paid for the Ohlins =P...Keep your eyes open on this Private For Sale forum, I have seen things like DMS40s go for cheapppp...Sometimes, it's better to spend more money for a great product than have to figure out how to make the less-expensive model work...Good luck with your setup, it's all about the fine tuning...
