Awesome! I love the way your front wheels line up with the fender.

It wouldn't last a day on our roads, but man I wish I had that look.

I just want to know one thing... How in the name of all that is holy are you able to run those wheels on the SVX?? I have the Koni/GC suspension and I am still getting enough travel to where those wheels would not just rub, but would probably take off the fender completly... I am interested because I am wanting to start to seriously compete in my local Autocross club this year... Trying to hit every event instead of one every few months... Wider tires could definitly help on a few of the courses that I run... So I guess the magic questions are these... What are the specs of those wheels? and are you Rubbing at all?

Hi there!

First, sorry for my bad english...

I'm using the same setup as your but I'm using some stiffer springs from ground control (eibach). I'm also running with some higher camber to prevent the tire rubbing my fenders.

sure, sometime if I push the car really hard on a corner it will touch a bit my fender on the rear, but I'm on the way to do some body work... And put bigger tires.

You sure you don't want a little more power to make use of those monsters? :|

Or is that something for down the road?

he is running coilovers from ground control which use Eibach springs... I am also hoping he is using Koni inserts
