Car looks GREAT!!! Any rubbing issues? Seems like the car's really low and rims/tires are very aggressive. I have minor rub issues with my TE 37s in 18X9.5+22s w/ Nitto NT05s in 245/40/18.

Wide? Don't buy star specs then. My 245 star specs were easily 10mm wider than my 245 nt05s.

Nice pics though I've got a time trial tomorrow in the rain on my dead NT-05s. We'll see how much fun I have hydroplaning!

I agree a wet track can be as fun as a dry track, you learn more about the car. Looks like a lot of fun, the car looks awesome.
