That setup looks pretty slick. You're getting spacers for BBK though still?
Thanks man.

the 275 isnt too bad. Its just so wide it soaks up the steering feel a bit more.
as for bbk ill need a 7-8mm spacer to clear these wheels with the oem akebono. I found a neat pair of hubcentric spacers with a 73mm outer for aftermarket wheels. With that ill also install extended studs when doing the bbk.

Part of the loss of steering feel is the change in scrub radius with the wider wheels and tires. As long as you like the higher grip in front more than the loss of steering feel, it's a good move.

agreed. To me the feeling is minimal but wanted to give an honest feel. The grip in corners is amazing nonetheless

Fronts can actually handle more aggressive offsets than the rear lol. Usually doesn't work that way.

Fitment looks great. FYI... There's a small bump/hump on the upper front side of the front plastic fender liner that should be ground off. At the height your currently at you'll definitely rub there until you grind it off or until it wears down on its own. You may also need to trim the rear felt fender liners if you haven't done it already.

This is my current set up with 305's in the rear (with the rear fenders widened 1-1/2" over stock) and 255's up front with 10 mm spacers. This is obviously much lower than I usually run the car but I had to show off my air bags for the show.
Love the quality and build! Tried looking but can't find a build thread if you even have one.

Thanks man. Much appreciated! Unfortunately I never started a build thread, so you won't find one. When I first bought the car this forum was just getting started so there wasn't really many people on it yet. G35driver was still the popular forum back then, so you'd have to go there to find the threads that show most of my early modifications.
