Its positioned near where it would be in a WRX STi...if anything a bit closer to the rear bumper actually.

I may play around with it to move it somewhat closer to the rear...we'll see.

True, the the WRX is shaped differently in the rear, we had a bit of a discussion about this on Club VR-4. If you wanted to run it there and make it actually do something, you'd need to re shape the bumper slightly to gain a benefit from the downforce.

Damn thoes are some small tires for the width of the rims man, they must be streached out to fit ?

Looks like you're going to have to flare out the rear guards.

I will see what I can do and see if I can reposition it. I don't want to hack the rear bumper though..so I will see. This is the type of obstacles when there isn't anything aftermarket for your vehicle.:(

theyre hardly stretched at all. but tire companies dont make 195's for 18's
and it doesnt rub at all.
the front rubs the inner platic liner at full turn. havent cut it down yet

still dont know when im gonna paint it

Man im lovin what youre doing. Im figuring out how to fit some 17x9's in my rear right now. Got some staggered SSR Scopes with SSR GP-0 face swapped and it looks like a real tight fit. imma have to find out what you did to make it happen. Im looking to put them on in january. For now I just picked up some 19 inch G35 wheels to hold me over til i figure out how those staggered 17's will fit in the rear.

looks like it'll work on an 8g with the vr4 rear bumper due to teh angle it creates when u have the extensions and everything on

with a 17x9 you can go as low as a +20 offset as long as you do what i did. which was shave the QP and max out the ingall camber kit. i bet your offsets arent that aggressive so they should fit fine. oh and run a 205/40 on that rear wheel

**dronesurfboards** · 12-11-2008, 01:33 AM

yeah i was gonna go max camber and stretch 205's. did you cut the fenders out? i test fitted them, and it looks like the lip might clear but i didnt know for sure since there were 255's on the wheel.

**dronesurfboards** · 12-11-2008, 01:35 AM

crap, just read the post again. time to use a dremel. lol!

**VIPtint** · 12-11-2008, 01:36 AM

as long as its not lower than a +20. whats the offset, you might clear with just a shave and not the camber kit.

**dronesurfboards** · 12-11-2008, 01:38 AM

they are +38 but i was gonna use spacers just to make sure it cleared the shocks.

**VIPtint** · 12-11-2008, 01:41 AM

youre fine, you can go up to a 15mm spacer if you want it super flush but you will need the camber kit. test it first. pull off the tire and the struts. bolt the wheels up and use a small jack to push the rim up to test fit them.

**dronesurfboards** · 12-11-2008, 01:45 AM

Yeah, my friend is gonna let me use his 15mm spacers, its just tough to see it work with those 255's on the wheel. I just have to adjust the camber kit and dump the car 2 more inches if i can.
