So after losing essentially all of my tools to the shop, I decided a Harbor Freight trip was in order. I left there with a big shopping cart full and a smile on my face. I knew however, that I owed it to myself to clean up the garage big time. So I told myself I couldn't even unload the tools from my car until it was nicely organized, or as close to it as I was willing to go. In these pics there is still a lot of winterized stuff that usually doesn't fill the garage.
Okay, NOW I've earned them

The new summer wheels came in (Some of MY FAVORITE WHEELS! 17x9 +25 Wedsport TC-105N only 15lbs!) and first thing first, Jerry needed to inspect them
Time to slap the new rubber on! 255/40/17 Hankook R-S3. SICK tires.

subscribed. sounds like we have very similar goals with our cars regarding that hard-to-define 'street car' term.
interested to talk set up with you one day. i think im going to try the hks 7460 gtii when i go turbo upgrade though, love how it sounded in terms of spool and that it's ball bearing etc. suspension is gtworx + bilsteins and a few other goodies, not to mention rear diff upgrade.. i've got a really well-made custom double din hvac relocation in oem trim + z120bt, probably one of my favorite mods lol.
anyway, looking forward to seeing how the car progresses

If you run a 245 tire, I don't think you would need to do anything to the car. The 255's I had on the car run wide, wider than a 265 star spec and required rolling the fender lip. Nothing up front, and no spacers anywhere. Highly reccomended.

New wheels look great man! 15 lbs for 17 x 9s is awesome!! I just picked up some 17 x 8.5 RPF1s and they are 16 lbs each. What does your rim & tire weigh together? Mine are around 40.5 lbs with another model Hankook tire (255/40/17). And unfortunately I need to roll my rear fenders as they are slightly rubbing.
