10" wheel up front.

For the track rats, 10"s up front do work with ET of 40.

I do however have -3.2 camber and I'm running 245/640/18's Pirelli slicks.
You have to have some type of coilover to clear the inside, so it will not hit the strut. I'm on KW CS, GT2 edition. I have to get an adjustable trailing arm in order not to hit the front plastic fender liner. It barely touches after almost 1 full rotation of the steering wheel. The other thing I can do is find a lower profile tire and that should take care of it. The O.D. of the 245/640 is 25.6. From my experience anything under 25.4 you are fine. If you want to run street tires look for something in the 255/35 range and I'm sure that will be perfect.

BTW how much did a set of those wheels run and did you order them in gold? Lastly, what is the offset and width in the back, the back ones look narrow or a narrow body offset.

Tire rack had a sale on them. They were 100% polished. To much bling for me so I did the centers gold.

I have been trying to stop modifying so I have been trying to stay away from here haha. I haven't been to track much this year. Only twice. I have a date to laguna on the 30th and 31st of december. I did however text you a few days ago!

Tire rack had a sale on them, i got a great deal. But I took the risk of 10's not fitting up front. They came in polish but I had the centers done in gold as it was to much shine for my liking. The rears are 18x12's ET of 45. I have 305 / 645/ 18s . I think the 305's are to narrow for the 12's so i'm going to see if i can get some Michelins in 310/650/18 next time with some 250/640/18 up front.

I'm doing great Enrique; life is much SLOWer when not hanging with you and Guy. Great choice of center color and I do agree the original "polished" is a little bling. Who did you have the color done? My set is in the corner of my garage since my track day several months ago.

I do have a question... does your PSM/ABS lights come on with the aggressive alignment settings?

We should have a drive sometime soon : )
I did them myself. I bought some green masking tape, takes awhile to mask them properly. I also bought a heat gun, heat up where I'm about to paint and spray. Then heat up again and coat again. 4 coats each wheel with in between heating/baking the paint with heat gun.

I do have psm/abs trigger more easily since i have had the alignment I have. Since I find it annoying , I just turn off psm when i get in the vehicle.

I'm impressed! I guess you learned painting and plating thru your family business.

I have been getting some psm/abs when doing a fast downhill on/off ramp. Finally, I decided to pull the plug under the hood and really liking it.

Yeah, we all should do a drive before the rainning season.
