This has been made possible by a huge amount of fender rolling/pulling, fender liner removal, rear strut spacing, gas fill hose modification and Thayer Motorsports adjustable rear control arms. For me, this was a "mandatory" modification. With 650tq at the tire and a 3.64 rear gear, this car was good for 70+ mph rolling burnouts.
Step one was wheel selection. I like my MPar reps.... Did some measuring and decided to have the wheels cut, widened and welded. They are now 18"x11".
Next was tire choice. Went back and forth on the NT01 and the R888. Finally went for the NT01 315/30/18.
Have to run some spacing on the rear, but nothing big. Rolled the fenders, then rolled them some more.
Rear camber is currently set between -.7 and -.9 so no loss of contact patch. I'll need to put some load on the suspension to see if the fenders need to be rolled more. For the record, when I say "rolled fenders" I'm not talking about that VW bacon fender job, this is tastefully done and still "stock" appearing.
