Even going to a 275/30 and 315/25 (what i'm running) gets you a shorter tire and a bit more shoulder clearance.

You can still use your tires in the future, or sell them if financially feasible. I previously suggested a cheap set of track wheels.

This is not ideal, but might be cheaper than re-barrelling, which i know is a PITA and $$$

I have definitely given it some thought since you mentioned it. The fronts could probably be fixed with a 265 or 275. Hell they could probably just be run at 3* camber with the 285 and clear.

As for the rear a tire change won't cut it. At 2* camber in the rear which is about the max you want to run from a performance standpoint, I have just under an inch of poke. At best we would be talking a 305 stretched over a 12" wheel and still might not clear.

I really can't see how any Moonbeam car not on some insane camber could fit a -25 12". I'd like to see pictures of what that fitment looks like to believe it. (@CarbonSignal you have any photos of what that looks like?)

And I guess if I am going to rebarrel the rears I might as well do the fronts and get the fitment I want.

Ultimately it just delays my S30 project about 6 months. This nonsense, combined with many weeknds of work, makes me think I just need a break from the garage and spend some time driving. So delaying that project isn't all bad.

If Wiggins had put that up for sale 6 months earlier, I would be sporting his whole body kit right now.

Also I think he is looking to sell the fenders and amuse rear as one package. I am not looking to change out my rear bumper.

yeah, i was more using his post as an example of how the aimgain kit appears to be . . . an inch wider in back? something like that?

You need to mark the flares with some cardboard and send it back with those vents we can work out something
