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.

Beefy looking tires.

 

Looks really clean

 

BEEFY..but diggin the FLUSH.

what grit did u use for the headlights? i used 2000, and looks like its gonna leave streaks (from sanding) so i stopped, i had yellowing/blemishing...
did u also use any applications (those renewing stuff from autostores?)

 

OEM 18's look so sick with spacers

 

275 in the rear unsafe but it does look good and i guess you do need it to get traction

 

yea they're beefy as $HIT. def. gonna need those sways on before zdayz.

all in all...looks better, props for trying something new. ill prob. end up copying u on this too

 

looks good ryan. i just threw some spacers on my oem 19s too. such an improvement. ill post pics soon.

 

nice man!

how's the traction now?

 

How so?

 

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.

 

do you have some side view pics, just so we can see how it looks from far away..

 

Damn, that's flush & beefy.

Too bad they rub (just drop it some more! )

 

Too much bulge in the rear. 275 bulges on a 8.5" wheel, let alone an 8" wheel. Have fun with sidewall rollover

 

haha looks better than oem specs for sure. 25mm doesnt look like it did much now slam your car
