Agreed. Wingless requires dumped (wheels optional.) I will not slap on my wingless trunk till my suspension is on!

Jebus. Might have to order me a 10mm spacer for my +22. Running extended studs on that 3mm spacer? Any issues at high speeds on the highway?

No issues no extended studs. It depends how much camber you want to run. I run -3 -2 so I have some spacer. I'm doing either a 10 or a 15mm spacer upfront but a bolt on. I wouldn't mind +0

so i have two options and the more tired i get the more i want to go with the second one.

1) rewing and figure out my tire/wheel setup

2) fix up the dewinging and make it look decent and order gunmetal rpf1's in 18x9.5 +15 and a set of star spec or re-11 265/35/18 and a set of eibach pro kit.

thoughts? i'd be totally sunk with anymore mods for quite a while going with option #2.

Number 2. I think it'll look good with the RPF-1's. I'd at least drop it.

Are you even positive you can get those gunmetal rpf1s? I've done TONS of searching and everyone was sold out except the silver ones. I was shopping for the same exact size and offset that youre looking for as well. Apparently tirerack buys up all the black and offcolored units and hogs them like no other.

I've powder coated BBS and Enkeis before. They're really easy to do. It's worth it to order the silver and have someone coat them if the gunmetal is out of stock.

Oakos and Driveline would be my first guess of people who have them in stock.

RE-11's have a $100 mail-in rebate right now. If they had that three weeks ago I would have ordered them, not that I'm not happy with the *specs.

I waited 1 month for my 9.5 +38's. They were on a very slow moving boat from Japan.

By gunmetal, do you mean sbc (which more resembles chrome?) I only thought they were in silver, black, sbc and a few gold
