Thanks for the comments. I can post hi-rez pics to use as wallpapers if needed. I've always wanted to powdercoat my wheels black. But it's just too much of a hassle for right now. I'll take better pics soon when i put my sides on. Car is no where near perfect though, that's for sure. There is a lot more I want to do to it (cf asuka 2 hood, blk roof, TK sides, FI later on, etc). As for me needing spacers... I don't really need them. I just like to go beyond flush, with a credit card clearance, just as long as it doesn't rub.
I used a fender roller to pull the whole fender outwards 5mm or so to fit the wheels (after it was cut).

and im not flaming, i do like his car, in fact i have several posts in his other threads telling him just that... all im saying is that when people refer to his current setup/stance (WITH the spacers) as "perfect", well i just dont really agree with that, because to me the "perfect" setup/stance would not require spacers... i hope that makes sense...
i actually liked the 295s and no spacers better.... but he seems very happy with the new setup, and if its "perfect" to him, then thats all that matters

295's rubbed the first few miles, then it was fine. The fenders weren't pulled then, now they are. Michelin tires suck if you go any wider than 275 on 10.5 rim: sidewalls are soft and cause too much flex. Tried running higher tire pressure but that didn't do anything. The grip was amazing, but the driving feel was nothing compared to bridgestone potenza's. These feel stiff and stable at any speed. And I'll say it again, these 275's are almost as wide as the old 295's and are significantly wider than my old falken 452's in same sizes.
