    TRMotorsport's for ze swapped Mistress

    Finally burned through some RT615's I had the bottle caps and decided to give these a whirl. 8's with 205/50 Advan Neova AD08's.

    Cheers!!

      car looks great. I like late models with diving boards, you should keep them.

              Yup, they are 15x8 with 15mm spacers in the rear to even out the fitment front to rear! Thanks for the good words!! This wheel/tire setup transformed they this car drives!

                  They are 205's on 8's...this style of tire (ecsta xs, re11, z1 star spec...) run really wide!

                        They are very sticky, they settle quickly in corners and transition very well!! Grip out of corners is much better than the rt615's also.

                        I couldn't have fit a 225 like this with out rubbing!! I had to roll the rear fenders as is! The tread width is a 1/4ish inch from an all-season 225!!

                        These tires are also incredible in the rain...I live in Oregon so I needed that. I don't expect to get more than 20K miles out of them though.... ;)

                          You need rear mudflaps. Looks good though.

                            I was told by tire shop that I'd have to buy comparable diameted tires or they wouldn't install. If you are at 8" width, shouldn't that be 225-50-15 with a fender roll?

                              I have a full set of late model flaps but the rear flaps don't fit the contour of the db's. Anyone have some alpine plastic bumpers for sale?

                              205/50 are slightly short. I just took the wheels and tires to the shop that always does my mounting and balancing...no questions asked! I only rubbed on BIG bumps and after I installed the spacers. :D

                              Here's a better shot of the rear fitment with 15mm spacers:
