No fender pulls. 295 A052 with 4.2F/2.5R camber. 285 tucks better, not sure If I have pics
295 A052
295 A052
295 A052
295 A052
295 RE71RS
295 RE71RS that bumper tab probably needs a slight trim

yeah but the wheel offsets are so big or so small at higher widths for ce28s it just wouldn't work. think an 18x10.5 +~32 is probably ideal

what are the evo stock stud lengths, and what would you guys is safe to run for a spacer before getting extended?

::edit:: stock length 47mm. I'm gonna get 55mm ones, and add a 10mm spacer in the front to get the 18x10 +40 to fit in the front. In the rear, I think without a spacer and just the rear trailing arms, the rear wheels will tuck in nicely. 18mm more inside (accommodated by the SSB arms) and pokes 5.6mm LESS on the outside, which it was already nearly poking on 18x9.5 +28s anyway.

Vicious LSD, what size and offset wheels are you using with 285/30x18s please?

To help us visualize your fitting result with generous camber.

18x10.5 NT01, ET30 I think. 18x11 Hypergrams ET40. I used ET15 upfront initially so I didnt need spacers on any wheel, but when i upgraded to SSB control arms I needed more offset so now ET40+spacer upfront.

with stock control arms :

I'm on 18x10.5 +38, 285/30/18 with 12mm spacers up front (to clear Ohlins R/T springs). 2.8 front camber, + rear trailing arms, rear fenders pulled and rear bumper tab relocated.

No rub, going for 295s next time, but may need shorter front springs or bigger spacers in front. The rear tucks waaay in, I was shocked how far into the wheel well the rears can go at a weird incline. I don't have any good fitment pictures on the 12mm spacers.

Anyone have the artec exhaust manifold know what size the bolts are for the heat shield? they're in the stock places but the stock bolts do not fit. They said m6 but that seems... small? But I dont have the car on me right now.

Also, for those that are running heat reflective tape on the front of the valve cover.. does it help?

OEM exhaust mani heat shield bolts are M8x14mm. My stock ones came out smooth after 20 years of the northeast. I was shocked!
