Default upgraded the shoes.

Same rims, new tires. I had falken 452 before in 245/275. The new tires are 265/30/19; 295/30/19 Michelin ps2
Rims are Volk GTS; offsets are 17/18, 9.5/10.5 widths
Car is dropped on Tein SDF coilovers. Camber is -2.5 front and rear. Running a 10mm spacers up front too.

Before anyone asks, it does not rub. The rear fenders are cut to the max. The fronts never rub either (only at full lock white hitting a bump).

Beautiful stance... like the view of that ***! Wow! lol.. Don't care for the front bumper though. And you need to increase the contrast in your pics they look dry.

Looks very clean. Is your car daily driven? Is it difficult driving that low up front?

The car is daily driven. It's not hard to drive that low, but you gotta be very careful. It scrapes on every driveway and dip, so you gotta go really sideways on those. The bumper and diffuser are already cracked in so many places. I have to always glue stuff back together. But it is a shine auto replica, not the real amuse, so i can deal with it taking a beating. It's the price to pay for the looks.


I took these pics late at night and they are just quick pics to show the tires. I'll do a little shoot asap during the day.

Ricky, no pics of the wheel. But i'll take some later. Got my new camera finally.

Wicked fitment.

I rather prefer function over form though.

How is that not functional though? It's not like it's a show car with 0 suspension travel. The wheels go up and inside the fenders and function fine when you hit bumps. It's slightly stiffer than your standard setup, but by no means has the function of this setup been compromised just to make it look better. As for the rears, they perform same as your regular setup.

I am no mechanical expert, but wouldn't the negative camber exert uneven wear on the tires? What if you launched very aggressively, causing the rear to to come down, would that not scrape the rear tires or something?
