OMG how jealous am I!!!

They are gorgeous babe! 1000/10

Cant wait to see them actually on the car!

[Edwin]

Thank you! Just attend JAE 2007 and I'll make the trip, just for you!

[ducatichick]

When is it-i probably will be there anyway

have you got to use spacers for that size on the front or will they clear coilovers???

This is the kind of size i'm after but want to make sure i can clear my teins

[Edwin]

If all goes well they will clear my coilovers and big brakes. I'm installing Tein Flex in a week or so, so I'll let you know!

JAE is around July 25th.

[ducatichick]

To get back to this... nope, I don't think they'll clear. I thought they would, but it's too tight. Without tires, there's only about 3mm of space left, which is too little for the tires to fit. Here's some pics:

As you can see I can barely put my little finger in between them.

A 7.5J rim width would be better, or an 8.0J wheel with +33 offset (but then it'll stick out past the fender). Either way, I'm not pleased

[THE DUKE]

Looks about the same amount of space stock suspension has wit 8j rims..

you could just put some 5mm spacers on the wheels????

[MarkP.]

I think you should be o.k,if the rim clears without the tyre then it should clear with.I've got the same width and offset as you a with a 225 profile tyre and the rim sticks out further than the tyre on the inside.The wheels are off my car at the moment i'll try and get you a picture.

Actually on stock suspension you've got a little more space, look at these pics I took before mounting the Teins:

I could, but then I would have rather ordered +30 on the wheels.

GReddy 330mm 4-pots brakes are in! Now making good progress on electronics in the car: Defi gauges, Defi display, and Blitz goodies! Here's some pics:
