Almost complete: The new stance
depending on which brand tires you go with you can fit a 255/35 on a +12... i did, and im very happy with how it turned out... i think it would make more sense with a 285/35 in the rear... oh and thats on a 9.5 +12... just realized you might be recommending the 245/35 for a 8.5 wide wheel..
i wouldnt go much lower though i dont think.. looks good.

and the 255/35 would match the overall diameter, loaded radius, Revs per mile etc. with the 285/35 much better...

I may lower the front a half an inch or so, but will make final determination once I get my rear camber arms in and the +12s on.
Installed SPC Rear Camber arms and Toe Bolt Kit... then I dropped it another half inch and had it aligned. I had to do this:
End result:
Can now easily fit 295's in the rear if I want, but I think I will stick with my 245/275 combo for now and throw a 5mm spacer on the rear. Sounds like I will probably need a 3mm spacer up front for the pending +12s
The 19x9.5 +12s should be here in a week or so, and I will throw these on at the same time:

You know, I really thought I was going to do a lip and call it good, but then I saw the Seibon TT Rear Lip on a local member's car, and I REALLY like the look if it was molded in and painted body color (except the diffuser area). That gets me thinking about side skirts...
Then again, I am really happy with the stock body look, so I am torn.
Maybe I will save the money and put it towards twin turbos.

I rattle-canned them... they need to be done again, I was experimenting to see how well the color matched, and it's not bad. However, they chip if you breathe on them.
Uh-oh... look what came in...
Teaser pics from the test fit (no spacer):
To clear the factory brembos, I'll need a 3mm spacer. Problem is, I could only find a 5mm one locally, and that results in serious rubbing (I think from the screws that hold the inner fender well on)
Will get proper pics once the spacer issue is sorted out. May have to throw on the camber arms and dial in more camber, we'll see.
