Lower 50mm on sti shocks and H&R springs with 215/35/18, no problems with grounding the exhaust but ride quality was crap. Now 205/45/17 and it is so much better.

That's mint :cool: how do the tyres look fitted over the 8" wide alloy ?

I was looking at these wheels at the Chatsworth Show on the Revolution stand and have to be honet and say I really liked them I could be tempted with a set of these myself in the future, do you know if they do a 7.5 wide alloy by chance ?

Pff7 replicas 7.5x18 215/35x18 tyres/40mm lower with koni sportkit(top adjustable inserts)crap fitting fiddly kit, getting KYB adjustables next i think at least they`re complete struts.

Removed rear arch protector and trimmed rear arches to allow clearance no mods on the front req`d.

Full width speed humps arent a problem, square ones in the middle of the road ya have to be carefull round and if i park half an half on the pavement/road have occasionally caught the downpipe on the kerb.

They handled good with those tires.

Got new tires the other day, Dunlop Z1 Star specs (225/40/18), looks better with the taller sidewall now IMO, they fill out the fender wells. I still have to see how they do at the track, the extra sidewall was nice on the freeway. :norty:
