Just noticed that you're running 11" wheels in the rear which is not only the widest that I've seen so far.. but that you're managing to run what looks to be zero negative camber on 285s which is AWESOME. I see plenty of clearance there, too.

What are these offsets?? I'm guessing a +30 - +35?

I've got 11" rears on mine with a 295, going back to 305's this summer.

there is plenty of room with the right offsets

With what offset??

I just ordered my 295s since 285 Pilot Super Sports are on national backorder for 90+ days. A little nervous. +25s on order now.

For the Varis Long Tail Rear Spoiler, does it replace the activated rear spoiler or does it on top of it?

It replaces it and its about 2 lbs lighter than the stock, easy to install.

2lbs lighter? Is the stock that heavy? Lol! I'm guessing the stock rear spoiler was not carbon fiber. Mine is CF as part of the Performance pack. I like the design of your wing but then I don't want to lose my CF unless I can sell it.
