hoping and praying that the wheels clear the spoon callipers..i know monty's dc5 has 17*9 at the front (not sure abt offset) and obviously clears a BBK but im sure thats with the jdm front set up.

Also with the tyres i keep changing my mind between 235/40 and 245/40..i know stevan's running 235/40 with some stretch on 17*9 but if i can fit 245/40 at the rear (with camber kit and rolled guards and almost stock height)..that'd be awesome

[crashprash]

me and my m8 are getting a set of tires each from tirerack and I was wondering if anyone else was interested in joining to cut down on shipping costs?..not looking for a massive group buy.

you generally wont save in shipping unless they send it to the same adress then you will get big imports duties, i saved money on the wheels by getting them to drop the price of the goods, they ended up giving me the shipping for cost price too which was nice, talk to grant from tirerack hes a good guy.

also what size/tyre have u decided on?

oh..didnt think of that ..currently with 8 tyres and shipping its almost 1.5k aud. i wonder if they can somehow list it as a gift or reduce the price on the invoice that the customs get...

for the tyres, same as u but 245/40...hopefully it fits at the rear with rolled guards/camber and stock height.

yeh im sure they could label them as being worth $400 a set or sumthing if you ask nicely . 1.5 wth i paid like 1100 for my tyres.
and at stock height you will be fine with rolled guards and a bit o camber, itll just look fugly
