get aftermarket toe links and trailing arms..... according to chuck from rotary extreme, you're able to add another inch of tire towards the inside if you buy that setup. also, i would do some research on the running gear forum on proper offset, actually rishie has a pinned topic on proper offset.

Like i said before,



255/35 with a offset of 50+ will not rub up front.

285/30 50+ will work as well. No rubbing!



so thats a 9 inch wheel in the front, 10 in the rear. Thats a good bit of rubber for this small of a car. Planty for me anyways.



Stock suspension?

I don't see that wheel on the Rays site anymore. Is it discontinued?



Ideal setup for a daily driver/track vehicle IMO is a 9 and 10. Exactly what Robert has.

i was looking in an old SCC mag (dec 2001) the rx-7 in the g-games used 275/40-17 on 17x10 inch CCW wheels. now granted its set up for autocross and road racing and rubbing at lock isnt a concern but how do you make that fit up front? thats some mad meats yo!!
