That would look great I think. Well remember that the tires may be wider, but they would be going on the same size wheel...so they are gonna shrink a bit. Spacers sell pretty easily on the boards...i wouldn't be too worried.

Well, just stuff promised by UAM and such.

ZForce

Thanks for the info, it's good to have options available.

I have keeping an eye also on UAM. Good stuff coming out from Andrew. I am gonna have to take a drive south to check out the goodies in the flesh.

10MM wider fender correct?
Would frp be ok?
Yours always welcome to come check it out!

RCZ

That would be awesome, although I might be amusing it from Shine. I really like some of the stuff you guys are doing though, but obviously it doesn't come cheap..I'm kinda lurking in the background right now to see what happens.

Jamaica

I talk to ken daily. He is still debating on to go on with the fender 10mm. I told him I will make it.

ZForce

On the tire sizes, would you recommend 265/35/19 and 285/35/19? I have read so many threads and just totally forgot the profile sizes. 35's Fr & Rr, right?

Ya, nevermind on those seats bro, after some research I found that they were not real brides, such a disappointment

RCZ

Cool man, we'll see what you come up with.

Ideally you want to go with similar ratios to stock, so you would have to do 265/305. I think thats a little too wide for the stock wheels though and that if you dont do anything else, then you're going to get a car that understeers a lot. This is only if you want to go with the RE-11, other tires come in different sizes that will have the right ratios.

Yeah, I heard, who would have thought. I feel bad for Mike now because he's stuck with replicas. I hope he can work something out with the other Mike that sold them to him. Anyway, good catch.

Ya, I had to do some background checking on them seats, I was on the phone with kamispeed & a Rep from Bride themselves almost all day, and we are 100% certain these are fake bride seats. I was pretty disappointed to say the least, but at least both Mikes know the truth

ZForce

To get the RE-11's to have the similiar ratio as stock, what else would I have to do to my setup? I have rear camber kit w/toe bolts and Stillen sway bars.

Then again 305's sitting on 25mm spacers may be just overkill in the looks department. I have some home work to do on tires to fit my setup and I do not want to bombard your thread with my tire questions. I will pm you in the future on the tire questions. I really appreciate your help as always you have been very helpful and patient with me.

RCZ

Hey man, no worries about the questions. It's got more to do with tires than anything. The truth is that many people have done all sorts of tire combinations and no one has said their car doesnt work anymore.

ZForce

Thanks man, I am thinking of going with stock up front (245/40) and 285/35 in the rears. The difference (1.57) in the section width between the two staggered sizes is the same as the 265/35 & 305/30 combo. It's up from the OEM staggered tire difference of 1.18

255/35 was a thought but with the spring drop (1.2) it might drop too much and rub with 20mm spacers.

RCZ

Hey ZForce,

I think you will be fine with the 255 and those spacers up front. There's plenty of room in those fenders. I would even go 265/285. I think thats a great combo for the car. Someone had the 265/305 combo on their stock wheels and spacers, but you're gonna have to look it up. Not sure who it was...maybe repipsa?

Try and get as much tire under the front fenders as possible, this car tends to understeer when you start playing around with bigger rears and grippier tires.

I have 265/305 right now and haven't had a chance to really put them to the test yet

Calvin

nice car =)

whats the biggest tire i can run in a 19 X 9? can i go 275/35/19? if so would i have to go 305/35/19 to keep same ratio as stock and prevent understeering.
