You won't rub with that stance. The S-Tech's are almost a 2" drop up front and 1" in the rear. My 18's didn't rub with 235/40's on it.

Wheels look great! Did you have to repaint your Brembos on your 03 VIII? They're so red...

Looks great, whats the weight per wheel. A mild drop and some Ray's red lug nuts would do the trick.

Thanks Meg. Wheels weigh 19lbs each + whatever the tires weigh....I was gonna do something mild, just wanted to see what it looked like with the wheels before i decided on the drop amount. Getting a lot of good suggestions. Where can i get some Red Rays and how much?/
