dope! also a quick question in regards to your rear Mt. Fugi emblem; after you took it off to paint it black, what did you use to affix it back onto the trunk? New double sided tape?

I used water proof silicone over the old double sided tape.

I've gone through car washes, details, you name it they still stuck on.

Easy to remove with bumper sticker remover.

Ok, so I've got Yokohama S. Drives just installed in back. 245/40/19. Having VDC issues around sharp corners. Might have to get S. Drives for the front too. Should I do 235/40/19 up front? Or 215/40/19? 225 isnt available, and I don't track my car, just drive like I'm crazy from time to time.

Who me? no I've got a coupe. Mostly a daily driver, not a track or street racing car, so an aggressive setup wouldnt really benefit me.

265 would not be safe. You could get away with it but wouldnt recommend it. If our oems were 9 in width then yes.

I have 255/40/19's in rear with zero issue. I will be switching the stock potenzas to 245/35/19s soon in the front, and switching the rears with another set of 255/40/19s.

Offtopic - the stock potenzas are damn loud.

Has anyone ever tried putting 4 rears Rays rims on their G's? The offsets are slightly different but you would be able to put more tire on the front.

They will fit fine, then you could run 255/35/19 and 255/40/19
