Here is my car. Same exact setup. I could run less gap by lowering it a tad or running a taller tire but I would run into huge rubbing issues if I track or autox. I'm not a big fan of rolling fenders. Either way I would get the star specs.

Both Evos look good on that drop... if you really want to close the gap in further up front, just run some negative camber and it will close the gap without you having to run a tall tire. Listen to what these guys are telling you... if you go with the 245/40 you WILL most definitely have rubbing issues which will mean spending more money to roll the rear fenders. Spend the money on the 255/35 and run some negative camber up front and you will close out the gap.

 

okay okay you guys convinced me!
is tirerack really the only place selling the Z1s tho? So much for competition haha

 

Just shell out the money for the right tires. Trust me, you dont want to waste time buying tires twice and etc.

Here is a picture of my old Advan RS GTR face rims on 265/35/18 Direzza Z1 tires

 

What drop are you on? That looks sick in the front from this angle. Love it.

 

Megan coilovers. I had it dropped pretty low for Evo standards =P

 

Truth be told, your for sale pics of these wheels was part of the reason I bought em. you pushed me over the edge.

 

Good choice bro . Advan RS gunmetal GTR face are sweet rims and color match with GG the best. I wish I could've kept them but I cant afford to keep rims collecting dust. But I replaced with my all-time favorite 18x9.5 +27 Enkei NTO3. Someday I will get Advan RS again

 

^Wow, that's a sweet rim too! I bet +27 looks sick!

 

How much camber and fender rolling did that require?
