fronts dont really need spacers.. but then again.. idk about SSR.. i kinda always wanted Works and only focused on their specs.. lol..

rears need a 5mm because they were too close for comfort on the rear calipers..

Once the Thread wears down on the 295s they will become 275/35s in the rear
ill be low but not too low.. i still drive this car daily even if its only for like 3 miles.. and my girl and sister will be driving it around to work.. also like 3 miles from my house once they start working.. so i kinda want to keep it conservative on the drop so the girls can get around without making me worry so much..

damn.. well.. scratch that idea..

but you think people would buy a CF add-on insert for their Fiber Glass CS rears? kinda like a piece you stick on there with 3M double sided tape.. or screwed into the bumper?

lmao... yeah i read it.. im not thinking straight...

what i meant is.. that once i wear down the 295s that came with these wheels i will be putting in some NEW tires that are 275/35 (dont have cash at the moment to just replace them)

and as for being low... i meant.. my car will be dropped but it wont be super slammed to the floor..

maybe now i dont sound so stupid.. lol..

lol.. you want what I have? then i would suggest.. going lower, stretching the tires and researching and researching on offsets, true offset is without spacers, there are a few exceptions but only to a few


you cant want a setup like mine or a similar one and yet say i cant be that low because of so and so reason, we all have things we gave up for the fitment we got but the point is, you want it you take all the sacrifices there are to come without excuses

i dont get what you're asking.. are you asking for some kind of a free handout?

go research all the things urself, but imma tell you this.. judging by what i've read tonight, you are FAR from having a knowledge of wheel/tire specs and fitment

another word of advice is, just stick with what you know, there are somethings that are not meant for us, we have to accept them and move on otherwise risk being laughed at

damn.. i feel like i need to sell my wheels now.. so i can get some with custom offsets.. lol..

i know i need stretches on tires.. and im working on that.. but i also need other things before that.. things i should have gotten before i got the wheels.. camber arms, and rear camber kit.. but i jumped the gun.. and now i need to make due with what i have.. being i just got these..

FIRST THINGS FIRST: RESEARCH and RESEARCH into wheel fitment..

this is what MOST PEOPLE SKIP.. RESEARCHING IS FREE, it will not cost you anything... you might say well time.. well time spend on research will get you good results

focus on THE PROCESS not the RESULTS

until then, STOP thinking about stretched tires and aggressive wheels

start with DROP that comes with all camber parts, THEN move on to wheels
