That looks nice, 20's definitely gives more ground clearance while closing the fender gap. I think I want to stay above 25" to try and compromise between looks and functionality. My front is at about 25" on oem 18's at the moment and its at the top of the tire.

24.75 is what I'll be at when my wheels come in two days. OMFG. 2 fawking days. it's going to kill me. wheels are actually in the states, but currently at us customs.

my NSIIs also came today. woooo.

blain - is leaving my tires in the sun for 3 days overkill for warming them up? or will 1 day/day of mounting suffice?

Nice! You went with gold vsxx's if I remember correctly? I'm wanting gold on IP myself... I guess I'll see about powdering the centers.

Isn't your height 24.5 now? That .25 might not get you caught on that speed bump!

Are you going 215/235 on your tires? Or 225/245

Right. Gold vsxx. Something I've always wanted to do. I'm so over whites/grays/blacks. I need color.

23.75 front. 24 3/8 rear. when I adjusted my coils, I guess I messed up measuring the rears. I wanted to be at 24 1/8ish.

Went 225/245.

I tried adjusting my coils(front) the other day to raise it some, but even after I raised the body all the way(i think)and locked in the springs,it seemed to stay the same, 25". What is the correct way to adjust? I'm a newb when it comes to this...

They arrived at US customs yesterday. They'll be at Work's warehouse Monday, but there is a possibility of Tomorrow. I got all that info from Logan at Work in Fountain Valley, Ca.

I had to Call RavSpec because I wasn't getting a reply from Mark on here. Nice people there...idk what happened with communication. Mark is usually great. They told me they would be getting their shipment early the following week. Week of 7/10 if I remember the dates right.

I'm actually picking my wheels up on Monday in Fountain Valley. I couldn't wait for shipping times because I have a show on the 7th. Had to pay $320 in tax. -___- but they refunded the $140 shipping. so, mehh.

9th technically. After Work gets the container on Monday, the 2nd, it takes them a day to get the wheels to will call, and probably another day to sort the rest out and put them on another container to send to various dealers.

Na, there isn't too much that would hinder the mounting.

Got my 255/35 mounted on the 12's. Should I be seeing 2-3mm of inner barrel? It seems the stretch isn't perfectly centered, but dang close. Is that normal? I just know I didn't have that with my 255/30 on an 11.

Happened with mine too, the tread is just literally too small for the wheel (I ended up switching to 275/30s)

As long as it isn't moving though, you're fine. Once the bead starts shifting you need to switch to a different size. If that gap randomly ends up on the outside (lip side) then go with a 275/30 or 265/30

Megans are probably your best bet.

Kinetix are also pretty cheap and decent.

But other than that, all I can recommend is SPL.

I have megans tho...
