first impression on 15x6.5 with 38mm offset. (archive)

Hopefully i'll have time tommorow (at work, of course :) to write it all up, with pics, but my first impressions of my new setup are that you CAN get 'ricer spec' wheels to work. i'll put all the details in, but here's a quick recap.

suspension mods as follows:
- 15x6.5 wheels, 38mm offset (12lbs!!)
- 195/50 AVS-I's
- bilstein sports
- h&r springs
- 8mm H&R hubcentric spacer in front, none in back
- ST 22/19 bars
- all urethane bushings

I only drove it 15 minutes or so, but i did take a couple of fast sweepers, and to my surpise, no rubbing! the fronts *look* like they should rub, but nothing yet. (i'm sure auto-x will fix that though :). fenders have not been rolled.

i guess this mostly works due to the fact that the car is so damn stiff. you can put all your weight on the front of the car and it barely moves! but again, i think that 'autoX' type driving WILL get them rubbing. but every day spirted driving? no way jose.
