Aggressive fitment anyone?!

Hey guys, figured I'd clear up some confusion about my car (the silver MSP w/ black Enkeis).

-17x8 +45 offset with 235/40/17 tires for the track
- -1* rear camber
- 215/45/17s fit fine on the street
-Springs are standard rate Eibachs from Ground Control. F:350# R:250#
-Fenders have not been pulled or rolled. I simply trimmed off the lip with a cutoff wheel.
-You can run a 17x8 +48 wheel with a 215 and probably a 225. Once you get larger than 225, the tire may hit the rear strut. Front clearance should be fine.
-A 235/45/17 is too tall of a tire. If you want to get the car low and on 235/40s on the street, you'll need 350# or stiffer rear springs and adjustable lower control arms to dial in negative camber.

ha! love the +1,000 offset... just watch, it's gonna be the new thing.
 
keep em for a spare set/track setup for the year if I get any track time in

was also gonna throw them on my friends 2010 3 for the time being. Let her "store' them for me. My buddy joe has my stock wheels on his ms3 right now
 
better than filling up the back yard. I already have my stocks and an another set of 18" Z06 wheels from the trans am back there(both sets with tires)
 
Just fit some 17x9s +22mm on the front of my car. Looks like a +35mm would be perfect with a 245/255. I'll be leaving the 17x8s with 235s on the rear. This is just a track setup. Pics coming tomorrow.

not too fond of the bright silver, so I will be having them powder coated as planned. The stance is beautiful though. They do rub as expected so gotta give my rear fenders some more attention to fully clear...or just raise it up a 1/4(**** that!)
