Nice, the wheels themselves are +30mm right? And are the spacers in front AND rear, or just the front?
ASTIG, I love your car man!! just beautiful!!!cant wait to see some day photos.
Pete! Where did you get that from? Im guessing John,lol. thanks only took two photos of my car at this show. Cars were to close i didnt like it, but fun.

Wow astig....I think that is the sickest wheel setup I have seen on a G to date.....so flush!

thanks. I just finished cutting the fender lip in the rear for more clearance. There was some slight rubbing of the tires, because I dont want to add any more camber to the rear. I hope my neighbors didnt hear my rotozip.
there's still work to be done...still need to do some cutting into the front fenders and the flares. But that can wait till spring. Im gonna put back my winter wheels/tires and gonna raise the car up a bit tomorrow.
As far as the ride goes. I have the stiffness at 16/36 in all corners and it's just slightly harsher. but not bouncy. it definiteley feels more planted to the ground and has less of a body roll...and that's even without the front swaybar connected, because I had to cut the endlinks off...damn bolt and nut seized. just need to get an alignment tomorrow.

ASTIG, very very nice outcome. im glad you cambering in those fronts to get them flush. i think the only thing i would do now is probably go with a hubcentric 25mm spacer in the rear to help it be as flush as the fronts and have those fenders cut back to work with the new offset. the car is a model of cleanliness as it is though and i would gladly park next to you. lol. great job bro. that list i have for you should be in your inbox by the end of the day.
now that is SICK!
hey boost, what are your wheel/tire specs?
GREEN is the new BLACK
summer: Rota Boost 17X8.5 35mm offset on Hankook Z212's 225/45/17 f/r
winter: Stock EVO 8 wheels on bridgestone potenza G019's 225/45/17
thanks man, but i still absolutely love the way your car looks with the STi colored brembos. did you do them yourself?
yes, painted them myself. the paint isnt hi-temp caliper paint, but it was a special ordered paint. but I did use hi temp clear coat and brembo decals. so far they are holding up very well...no brownboo yet. hehe.
I love those rota boosts, I was thinking about those, but couldnt pass up the cheap MB wheels.
about the rears, you planning on putting on some neg camber right? I kinda hate the fender flares, because it just makes it even harder to get the wheels and tires to sit flush. on mine, the original rear fenders has been trimmed to about 3mm, but the flares are adding about 15mm. maybe thats why Triggermauve only has front flares.
thanks bro!
