i'm 99.99% sure that when the time comes to start wheel shopping again, mercury silver re30s are tops on the list of wheels i'm looking to get i think i wil stick with stock offsets and wheel size though..

Pshhhh you know you want wider Although, I'd probably run a spacer for daily driving in the front, lest I forget to not turn the wheel full lock in parking lots...

hey mike,

since your fenders are rolled, why not run 17x9 +40 or 17x9.5 +47

I'm too big of a wuss >.<

Plus, it's fun seeing the look in people's faces when they find out how high your offset is

5W30, although I'd run 10W30 if I ran dino or a blend. It doesn't get very cold here in so-cal

I'm thinking of running down to 5W-30. The cap says 10W-30 so that's the only reason why I'm sticking with that for now. Anyways...Mike...maximize the setup! Run the 949racing +48!!

I'm running German Castrol.. Car seems to like it so far.. I'm tempted to get a UOA done when I change it, which will be a little while..

Yeah it's the offset of the RPF1's in the 17x9 that cause you to have to roll the fronts. +45

17X9 All around is what I was suggesting. I loved the feel of the non staggard setup. Depends on your driving style I guess. Both are nice.

Yet I think everyone agrees a 17x9 all around RPF1 setup looks amazing over the 17x8 f 17x9 rear.

Here is a nice shot of how good the 17x9 looks all around...



Not my car^
