nice tire choice man. i know that the s-03s back in the day along with ps2s run big. the re050A Pole Positions don't run as big as the PS2s.

fikses FM-10s 18x8, 18x10.5
Yeah - my order originally had the PS2's tagged to them. I just recently switched to the RE-01R hoping they run a little narrower with more rounded edges. Couldn't find the RE050A PP's in the right sizes (would have been my first choice otherwise for the rounded edges).

I also considered the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, but with them being a new tire I will wait till there are some more real world tests on it.

Your Fikses look amazing..

Paint the face black then polish, so you end up with the inside of the spokes black and the face polished. Add gold rivets

I was under the impression quite a few people around here (including Importsport and Wantone) are running the same LM setup with little to no rubbing.

I don't plan on lowering much (if at all) ... so figured it wouldn't be an issue.
Jason rubbed (Importsport) these are his old LMs which also rub on my car.
