RPF1s do come in 17x9 +35. What I posted earlier is what I want for my car, but the selection of 235/40 street tires is so limited.Quote:

Interesting. Or alternatively, get new car and not worry about clearing anything ;PQuote:

^ that's roughly what the rears look like when they rub. It likely goes up even deeper on impact of bumps and such, but this was just a static shot to get an idea of it. Essentially the whole top arc of the fender. It sucks cause we weren't able to fully roll my rear fenders last summer cause they were so rusted and it would've risked just splitting/cracking them apart from the inside. So that little lip that's still present, is shredding the tires every time it gets up to the fender.
Had @ryan2.3 help me out last night, and unfortunately ended up having to do what I didn't wanna do, which was adding camber. The rubbing is less now however when it does hit, it's hitting closer to the sidewall (as opposed to on the tread of the tire) which is even worse. But the frequency it hits is much less. However now the car is lower in the rear, so less wheel gap/clearance. What I'm gonna have to do is put my rubber perches back in and then I'll be able to hopefully have more camber, same wheel gap/clearance as fronts, and not rub too much. Just sucks cause I'll loose all the alignment work that was done last weekend on the rears and I'll have to get it aligned again. But such is life...
Face-down-ass-up pic from yesterday's long session. Thanks again for the help @ryan2.3

Seems like you need to stop rubbing before you really chafe. #seewhatididthere.
Buy some baby powderQuote:

Trying to get into this whole editing game. Decided to just mess around with this pic, and get wacky with it. Not really sure what I even ended up doing, but meh, I think it came out kinda cool-looking :P ..maybe? No? I dunno

Try using lightroom instead of a really old version of photoshop.Quote:

If only it looked like that still. I remember when it looked that bright. God damn fade. But then again with the negative attention you've been getting as of late... Maybe being brighter isn't the best thing lol.
HAHAHA...looks more orange now thoughQuote:

now i want to see you go that low and drive through michigan^
Bagged no problem. You can adjust it with a flip of a switch. On static god help him if he were driving around like that. Even his current setup is kicking his ass with meaty tires.Quote:

It's like turning yellow lol. But I kinda like it. It changes colour every season. Until it goes white. I still do love this car. It's a trooper like my car is haha. Goes through hell and back and keeps on going.
Sound system updates please
I'm telling you man, its in that yellow/gold stage now lol looks okay-ish in the shade (goldy hue to it) but in the sun its straight up yellowQuote:

How is the ride now with the new rims/ tire combo?
They look beefy.
haha not gonna lie, by next summer I may actually have to go in and get it changed again. To yellow or gold or possibly white :|Quote:

Finally got to try out my new lens. Unfortunately this is the only/main candidate I have as a subject for pictures..

I'm hopefully gonna stop being lazy and switch soon. No front plate here. But with the rest of the car faded, I'll end up exposing a box of bright orange unfaded dip when I take the towplate off :loki ...plus my towhook cover isn't dipped either sooo I'm not gonna have quite as clean of a no-front-plate look as you'd thinkQuote:
