Testing 123

[AE_m20]

Picked up a set of staggered Borbet type A's a month or so ago and finally got a nice day to test fit. Debating whether to bump the rears up to a 215/45 and fronts down to a 205/45 due to minor rub at full lock. Also considering 10mm spacers in place of the 8mm for some flushness. Once thats done I might also throw some e90 drophats on to bring the front down an ass hair. Excuse the massive iPhone pics. Enjoy!

Stats: (F) 16x7.5 et35 + 8mm spacer kumho ecsta ast 205/50/16
(R) 16x9 et15 kumho ecsta supra 215/40/16





Minor rubbing up front, might*drop down to a 205/45

Why would you buy an oversized tire for the front, and an undersized tire for the rear?

Go with 205/45 all around. Other than that, I love me some type As.

^^I bought them that way.

I got ya. If you are looking to just buy 2 new tires instead of a whole set, I'd sell the fronts, move the rears to the front, and then buy some 225/40s for the rear. Unless you are going for the stretch look.

Thats pretty much what I had in mind. But I wanna have a go at the "stance/Fitment" look for a season or 2. So I'm just going to sell these tires to offset the cost of new ones. 205/45(F) 215/45(r)

Im on 60/40 springs so E90 hats up front and rear spring pad delete should do the trick

That might work buti its not going to drop it much. E90 drop hats are about 10mm , both pads just abut 12mm

Looks nice! I would get spacers up front too.
