The car is sitting pretty low. It's 25" from ground up to the highest point on inner arch of the front fenders. I think my car's suspension was sagging before and I dropped it 1.5" from that. It sits a full 2" or more lower than my friend's Spyder. We haven't measured his car to get an exact number yet.

I'm putting those tires/wheels on Sunday and I'll roll the fenders then. More photos to come shortly.

I had 255/40/17's on my talon and didn't need to roll or touch the fenders. Only thing i noticed for the short time i drove on them was that in the rear the tires slightly touched the shock. I was on a hyb gr2/eibach prokit setup.

I really haven't checked yet. I know I won't have issues with tire/shock clearance. I just put a DG coilover setup on my car. I have a hard time believing I won't have any clearance issues.

Here's how the tires fit when it was at stock ride height.

There's a little more negative camber in the front of the car now that it's lowered (about -2.0°), but we'll see if that's enough.

The rear has a pretty hefty lip under the fender. The tires back there were almost flush with the fender at stock height. I'm trying to correct the rear camber to about -1.3°.

in your picture you first posted you have about a 2 finger gap it looks like, is your tire/wheel setup taller then the ones you had in the previous picture?

[knochgoon24]

The photos with the black rims have 215/55/16 winter tires on the 16x6" +46mm rim. The Evo wheels (17x8" +38mm) have the 245/40/17. They are actually almost 0.5" smaller diameter.

It's probably a 2 finger gap. I'll have to double check.

I had to roll the rear fenders a good bit.

Here is another of mine. This car is fully built, With not one bolt left from the factory. Car has fully built engine, Aswell as fully built drivetrain. Car is extremly lightweight being the entire car (minus rear 1/4's) is carbon fiber, Along with the entire inside aswell. I need to get an up to date weight on the vehicle.

i keep forgetting you have suspension movement, the only movement my car has is the sidewall flexing, idk what springs i have but they are stiff as hell

that is awesome

I have 600lb/in springs in the front, and 350lb/in in the rear. It's actually not as harsh as I thought it would be.

[stover]

mine is SO harsh, if u sit in the back seat you will smash your head on the hatch

Here are some pictures I took last nite before leaving the garage. I am really thinking about getting a shearer-fab top mount and a gt42r, But still not 100% positive yet.

Wheels look good. How long did it take you to do them on your GTS?
