Haha I need to go lower in the rear, but you get the point

Here's a slightly bigger picture:

BTW Jin, I need to come in and get the fenders flared a little bit more. They clear by a few millimeters now, but the back right rubs occasionally.

I'll be giving you a call this week

Very Nice...., but any lower, and for sure you will not be able to get a jack underneath it...

Hahaha yeah it will definitely prove to be difficult! It's already to the point where I can't get a jack under the front, and just barely in the back! It's actually higher now than I was before

Wow, Travis... perfect look. I liked your setup from when we met at the Pavs meet, but this is the setup. Did you already mention wheel and tire sizes/offsets? Didn't see. Gonna take note for the Sportcross for sure.

Thanks! Yeah I definitely like my previous wheels, but this setup just screams "SIIICK!" lol The tire sizes are 215/40/18 & 245/35/18. So there isn't too much stretch thankfully, and they're FLUSH with the fenders. Jin from Kyoei and I did a ton of work on the fenders just trying to make sure I don't rub. The wheels are 18x8+38 18x9.5+39.

Hahaha yeah they're pretty awesome! I love the 3" lip in the rear. I actually went about 3/4" lower than I was in that picture. I have pushed it hard around corners and my new sway bars and underbody braces have kept it very steady and even though I have a few mm's of clearance from the fender in front, I don't rub! No body roll FTW!

Just perfect man. I took it upon myself to take the haze and "blue" tones out of your pic... added some contrast to make the wheels pop a bit.

Thanks! That looks 10x better! I could have shopped it myself but was too lazy

LOL you're pretty good though... I think I remember seeing one of your chops awhile back with your sportcross and thinking WOW. Can't put my finger on what it was.

Question

I mentioned before, but it was mixed in with all the chatter about that coming Saturday. Does anyone play poker? I've been wanting to get a game established on a regular basis again.

I'm definitely going to try and make it to the next meet up. Plans have been crazy busy of late, but it's slowing down a bit.
