Stock 18s with 245/275 & 25mm spacers all around
My part out process has taken a turn for the worst... I'm actually buying things for the car again
I bought tires, spacers, and I just bought Stillen sways today and will most likely install those tomorrow. I only bought them for Zdayz, so they will be up for sale in the beginning of June.
My DPEs sold back in March and since then, traction has been an issue. Spinning at 60mph is fun, but it makes the car feel slower than it is. I somehow managed to pull a 2.0' time and run a 12.5 @ 114mph in March on my bald 245/45/18 Michelin Pilot Sports.
I've been looking into spacers since I miss the flush look. I searched and searched and haven't seen anyone do 245/275 on the stockers and add spacers, so why not try it for myself? Today, I finally decided to get my tires put on. They are Dunlop SP Sport 9000 in sizes 245/45/18F and 275/40/18R. On the stock 18s
Yup! When I got home, I installed my new 25mm Ichiba V2 spacers on all four corners.
Front left with the spacer
Left rear without the spacer
Left rear with the spacer
Front right with the spacer...I also wetsanded my headlights. They look brand new.

Well, the spacers are coming off just as soon as they went on. All 4 corners rub when I hit a bump...and that will NOT be ok when I'm doing the Tail of the Dragon. I'm taking them off right now, so they are up for sale.
