Thanks!



And I hate the VT plates lol. I wish we had something more colorful like Utah, Nevada, and Arizona has. Or just black and white like Texas. Also there should be an option to pay $50 more per year on registration so you don't have to run a front plate. But enough ranting, back to big meatz.

Comparison of 225's to 255's (225 left vs. 255 right)

Yessir they are! Paired with 255/40/17 RS3's all around. I'm probably not even going to have to roll my fenders or relocate bumper tabs, just add a bit of camber.

wow that looks great! How much did you get them for and from where? Are you lowered at all?? Ive always wanted to run the 17x9+60s with 255s but im lowered about 1.25 inches, the only thing holding me back is the rubbing issue since i dont want to mod the fenders.

I bought them used from a member on here, but after a little bit of searching around I should've just bought from the vendor, Gruppe-S. It's only $1080 shipped for a set! Haha ohhh yeah I'm lowered. I am lowered on Skunk2 springs, which have a 2.25" drop up front and 2" in the rear (a little more than I'd like, but hey they were convenient). My friend who is experienced with fitting wheels told me that I should be able to run these by simply running more negative camber, so I'll report back when I'm able to get an alignment and ride around on them.

let me know when you get some driving in! Im trying to find a set of track wheels, i might just put 245's on em to be on the safe side. Do you have better side profile pics by chance??

I'm using mine as track wheels as well. Sure! Just keep in mind that I wasn't able to drop the car all the way down because of my crappy jack, so it probably has 1/4" to go.
