thanks!

Get the extended warranty if u do.. lol
nah, new subies are super reliable. ive got a buddy who beats the everloving **** out of his daily 200+ mile a day commute with 230k on it, upped the boost and full exhaust with a tune and it still runs like the day he got it and 0 problems.
the camber on the 1st & 2nd pics is just retarded, looks whack
and the car right below it, what whee are those? looks like replica of the kranze vishunu wheels, but they look pretty good!!

all those you mentioned are just as unsafe. which is why if a cop sees that and notices those problems they can issue you a citation for it because it is VERY unsafe. But hey, if you want to increase the problems then by all means go ahead, just stay away from me on the streets unless I have my camera out to take pics to post online of the failure.
Cops don't give a ****, legal law says nothing about specified tire size to corresponding wheel width. You get a citation, you fight it, you win.
Blowouts and separations are what happens when you use cheap tires, old tire (willing to bet a long of people on here buy tires from wal mart) or user error, just as Levon said. You have never stretched tires, you have never driven a stanced car and I am willing to bet you've never mounted tires. So before you run around saying something is unsafe, go and research how much force it takes to unseat a beaded tire while there is optimal PSI in it (32)
Also, that photo you posted of the Z with flat tire. Have you considered why he is running two sets of wheels? He clearly wasn't drifting....
There was one at the shop Dan brought his car to.. blew the bottom end on a completely stock motor with 75k on it.. it was just out of warranty.. he said he didn't really beat on it and kept up on the maintenance..

I'm really digging the fitment on this one, Johnny. Looks great. I'm eager to see everything as soon as you get it all buttoned up.
And I'm in love with this car. Executed well, I think.
