maybe 165's would be better?



Yes. 215/40 looks like a rubberband because of the short sidewall, so your car has to be lowered pretty good not to look that goofy. It's not that bad, but it's meh. 205/45 is baby stretch. 215/45 is square and looks proper if you're not planning to really lower the car MUCH(H&R race status).

Thanks for the pic. I could definitely handle that amount of stretch but I'm still torn between those and the 215's haha.

I think with the 6 inch springs I could probably get away with 215/45's and a decent drop. I'll post up when I figure it out

yolo!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the input.


Are you saying 205/45's probably look better than 215/40's on an 8 inch wheel in the front? I want fairly minimal fender gap but I'm not planning to slam the hell out of it. I'm starting to think the 215/45's might actually be perfect for me as I'm ultimately looking for a little bit of stretch or none at all.

As for the rear springs, the ones that came with the kit seems to have gotten me plenty low with the 225/45's. I'm currently tucking a little bit of tire in the back

actually 215s would be nice too!

205/45 is baby stetch on an 8" and looks good if you're low.
215/40 is baby stretch with a more shallow/rubberbandish look.
215/45 is square on an 8"
i'd get 5" springs in the rear so you can actually use the adjuster. With a 6", you'd probably end up pulling it out/removing pads!




Ni99a you're going to need like 265's lmao

yolo!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info. I talked with Kev and it looks like I'm going to swap in some 6in springs up front to be safe. I think I might try some 215/40/'s for the front as well. With the 5mm spacers and an effective et15 offset, my 225's don't quite look right.... a little too beefy and too much poke for my tastes.

BTW I love the staggered look you have going. I think I might trade in my 16x8's in the back for some 16x9's some time in the next year.

try 205s in the front and 215s or 225s in the rear... might sit better with that set up...im gnna eventually run 225s in the rear due to an s50 turbo build..but i can deff run 225s and pull off the slammed look.

thank you! do it! 16x9 would be awesome!

same height but rear is more stiff.
your probably gnna have to run some thicker spacers just to clear the front..like 15-20mm

im staggered 16x8..16x9...11 offset for all four..rear sits good..front i need 10mm spacers to clear the inner rim from hitting the strut tower/spring.

I'm running 215s in the rear and 205s for the front

How much to weld spindles

If you're local and you have everything off and you just bring it to me to chop and weld, then that would be much affordable. PM me for price and info.

How much to weld spindles

anywhere from 350$-400...dont forget to include labor..pulling out the spindles...sawzalling the spindle..then welding.

Looks sick! Are you running shorter front springs with that wheel/tire setup? What are the specs?

I'm running esm 16x8 et20 esm's with a 5 mm spacer and 225/45's and I can't drop the car much at all without having the front tires touch the spring perch.

Not sure if I'm going to have to run 215/40/16's up front or get shorter springs or both :(
