Thanks Patrick, I look forward to hearing your comments after fitting. What tires/size are you going to use? Any pics would be great!!

i run a 43mm offset (3mm further inside the fender than yours) with no problem. you SHOULD be okay. BTW, those KDW2's are great. don't last worth a crap, but they're really good tires.

Insite, do you run the 265/35 or the 285/30?

i've run both, but since my front wheels are only 7.5" wide w/ P225's, the P285's in back upset the balance of the car a bit. i run 265's now.

The set I'm waiting for has literally almost brand new Pzerro N4s on them, in turbo size with the 285/30 rear. I'd really prefer the 265/35 as I dont want anymore understeer, but given that these are brand new tires I'm inclined to throw them on and go for a drive and see how things are. I do have an 8 inch wide front, but I still think its too much meat out back.

it won't be bad. if you want less understeer, get the M030 sway bars (especially the rear). they're pretty cheap and make a HUGE difference; much more neutral. the 285's are ok if your fronts are 245. you can also balance w/ tire pressures.
