Scotch brite pad to a car, that's awesome on such a wrong level.

And a tad lighter. That Kojin is a nice wheel.

Here she is after a quick optimum no rinse wash. Just used my smartphone, no fancy camera. 50% Cartoon filter.

I would have to reread to rules for CS, but I don't remember being allowed to run a wider wheel. You would need a 7.5 front and 8 inch rear. Then if I remember, up to 5mm difference in offset from stock.

I have an 03 track so the stock wheels are 8 and 8.5 wide. I know the rears will fit. I just want to avoid ordering and returning the 17x8s if I can help it.

Anyone else have a problem with the rears fitting? 10.5 +15/285 tire sticks out about an inch. Everything I read said it should'be fit fine. Hard to see in this pic

Can you post a better picture? 285 on a +15 wheel should poke a little bit, but nowhere near an inch

285/40 or 35s? Looks like you're at stock height, it'll camber in once you lower the car. I had 285/35 Nitto Drag Radials in the rear, fits with a mild roll. Pic above is with a 10mm spacer, you should have room to spare if on 35 series.

Yeah its definitely not an inch. Maybe the suspension was sitting weird after I raised one side. Tire size is 35

That looks a little more how you should expect. Also, if you jacked up the car and lowered it back down without rolling the car forward or back at all, the wheels will be sitting slightly off from their default position. If in that picture the car hasn't rolled at all after lowering it back down off the jack, the wheels will pull in a bit when you move it.
