damn jimmyboi that looks really good!! you said your inner rear barrel is hitting the coil collars??? hmmm... I'm a bit worried now my specs in the rear is 19x10.5+22 and from what I've researched there wasn't any issues with clearance..... I'm hoping this isn't a problem to me....... on the other hand you are dumped! and I'm thinking 5mm spacers should let you clear the coils from hitting your barrels.....

quick question about tire size differences for the traction control system. I am considering a smaller diameter tire for the front.

Backl tire
Sidewall: 3.51 in
Radius: 13.01 in
Diameter: 26.03 in
Circumf: 81.77 in
Revs/mile: 774.88
Front Tire
Sidewall: 3.10 in
Radius: 12.60 in
Diameter: 25.20 in
Circumf: 79.17 in
Revs/mile: 800.30

Will this work out or not?

Is that too wide to fit on a coupe? Would I need to do any major fender work cause it will be dropped or Should I re-barrel so the wheels aren't so wide?
You can make those work (need a spacer in the front) but they can be done with enough camber and stretch.

Look up Adon's set up (his screen anme is Adon)

I am lowered on Tokico D-specs and Tanabe DF210's on a 2003 Sedan.. does anyone have a similar setup or have knowledge if I will encounter any serious rubbing? I can roll my fenders but I am not open to flaring them.

Thanks!
You should be fine with just a roll, only thing I can see rubbing is under full compression, but you should be ok.

We adjusted the camber a bit to clear the fender and lowered the rears and thats it. Is this normal? Or is there a fix to this? My rear is 19x10.5 +29 245/35/19s. Running BC coilovers.

How the rears looked after we lowered it and gave it a little more camber....

For the temporary fix we readjusted the camber and raised the rears a little over half an inch.
Offsets are too high, Chris (sn00p) had the same issues with his 10.5 +35 or whatever it was.

Lower the offset and you'll have room to move for camber clearance.

you'll be fine as long as camber stays under 4 degrees.

What do you mean dumped like I am? I was lower last year and static...

It's almost an inch different overall.

Why are you trying to run smaller tires?

Thanks Blain, the whole time we thought it was the camber, but I was like I'm not even running that much camber lol. What do you suggest for spacers? Im thinking a 15mm? Rears are 19x10.5 +29.

And I knew you were static...did you recently get bags?

Well for example Marcus is at 10.5 +17 with I think -5 degrees.... if you're into his style then go with 10-15mm spacers.

And I bagged it in like... end of May?

Here's how the weds sat static.

Running the coupe 18s on factory size at 225/45 front and 245/45 rear on my sedan. Is there anything wrong with running that setup seeing as the diameter are almost 3% apart from each other? Not only worried about speedometer/odometer changes (I'll test that later with my GPS) but anything else that could happen because of this? Someone mentioned cruise control not working but that's not something I care about.

I don't think cruise control would have an issue with it to be honest, but you should be fine unless you're AWD then you're going to have a lot of VDC issues where the car isn't sure what to do with it's differentials.

You should try to find some 245/40s for the rear but you should be ok for a little while.

Coupe? 25-30 if you're rolled and have some camber

20 and 25 if you want to play it safe

I wasn't planning on getting 245/40 on the rear because of the speedo difference, was thinking maybe 235/45 all around?
