Silver 17X9 RPF1's

[kunfu]

I Know its not original but its so damn good. Went with 17X9 and for tires went with the V12s in 245/40. Nice thing about this set up is I didn't have to role the fenders. Did need to use 5mm spacers from JBR in the front (barley clears strut even with spacers).

Your still on stock suspension I am guessing? You can't go wrong with this set up, I actually have the 17x8.5 with the same tires sitting in my hatch right now just waiting to be mounted tonight.

Looks good!

Nope Im on Koni FSDs which don't really lower the car much if at all.

aka : not lowered at all.

You will have to roll the fenders once you put her on a set of lowering springs.

V12s are shit tires. Have fun spinning through 3rd.

haha not shit tires if you had the original OEM tires on before the upgrade. In my budget I think they are the best choice, are the better choices if your willing to spend more? Hell yea.

I put my friends wheels on my car last winter and he's got 235 v12s. I didn't hook up until about halfway through third. Granted, I never got the tires up to heat. But they were loud and I didn't have any cornering confidence.

Via the freeks VD plot I'm only making about 317whp/369wtq

My Michelin pilots hook up late in second gear cold.

Sorry for seeming like a dick.

Well obviously theyre gonna spin then.

Ultra High Performance (or similar) tires are meant for Temps >45*F.

If youre smashing 2nd gear when its 30 outside dont expect to hook on any summer tire.

Winter in Washington is 45-50 degrees. We never even got snow here.

Up to heat (little balls beginning to form on your tires) is a whole different story. You won't get tires up to heat unless you're on the track or doing autocross.

I spin in 4th. Hahaha

[kunfu]

Well all I can say is I haven't manged to spin them yet (sure its possible). And cornering with this set up is simply not an issue, very confident cornering.
