It isn't much, but now it just barley clears the fender. Perfect figment assuming you don't have/don't want to do fender mods




Thanks Jon!
How'bout the front? Is it Ok with the rubbing on front? I think Michelin Pilot Super Sport looks meaty than some other brands. Hankook V12 that I am currently use 235/35/19 looks thinner than your PSS....

Yeah the PSS are pretty "square" tires. I'm only rubbing the fender liner on large dips. No rubbing on the fender itself or bumper tab. I'm not low enough.

The handling/wet traction/noise level is pretty impressive on these tires though...

Just saw this on FB, not my car, im just sharing. Looks like HKS350 maybe??? Conversion looks pretty nuts and definetly bold, I kinda like it, gives a glimpse of what the 3IS may look like with the new spindle grill.

Damn he's still going hard with the 350 even without the boost. Want that bumper minus the splitters!

Same here. I wonder what the specs on those wheels are.

^
on the fence with the front splitter, however with vertex sides and fender flares (and aggressive offset), i don't think it would flow without them.
props for being the first and clean execution.

Always loved HKS's car and his creativity but unfortunately IMO those splitters make the car look like a snow plow, and like kentaro said unfortunately I think the bumper would flow even less without them. So it's kind of a lose lose situation for me. Still a sick car tho nonetheless.
