Wheel specs are 18x9 +62 i believe. I'm sure my rubbing issues are the result of my accident a few years back. Before i had no issues with rubbing however i started noticing that it'd rub in the back a little after i got it back from the shop. I hope rolling the fenders and raising it a little with a combination of more neg. camber would help but it still does. I even got skinnier tires but nope. Still rubbing ever so slightly.

That strange, I wouldnt think you would be at any danger of rubbing at those specs. Did they replace the rear subframe? They are know for getting bent in accidents.

To my knowledge the subframe was not replaced. Do you know a local shop i can bring it to to check if it's properly aligned?

You went to Firestone?

Yeah, alignment taken care of. unfortunately I couldn't get the numbers I wanted but its Kool, I just lifted the rear another 1/2" so hopefully I won't rub in the rear anymore.

now next on the menu is my turbo build. a buddy of mine in br is gonna help me with the install but I'm not sure where to take it locally to get it tuned. anyone know of a reputable tuner who who is aem certified? I was looking into corr performance but I've heard they've blowed up a couple of motors. not sure of its true or not.

I dont recall any motors blowing up there but i'd be delighted to hear what instances where Corr has blow up motors while tuning? Thanks!

Just want to give kudos to Firestone dealer at 3521 Veterans Blvd. Just had new Star Spec ZIIs installed yesterday with a custom alignment. I had Star Spec Z1s installed 13 months ago at same place with great results. Got 17046 miles on first set of Star Specs. Billy the manager was very knowledgeable and Vincent did the alignment. Really satisfied with their attitude and knowledge.

LOL, Having new tires always feels better. I only have 20 miles on this new rubber. Tread pattern is slightly different. I'll know more after I run them in and certainly at the Dragon next month. Tire Rack had a video comparing the ZIs and ZIIs with the latter having better performance overall.
