ya what i like about the RE11 is that they are non-directional which means that on a square setup you can rotate front to back and left to right which is not possible with the RS3's even though RS3's are $20 cheaper

So on a counter-clock wise track... the front right will get killed and the rear too at some point... unless you can run the circuit backwards

I'm actually having those issues right now with my front left (got the back cambered in November), but the camber plates I just got should solve the issue, at least in part.

Thanks for sharing your wheel/tire specs. How those 225/35 fit on the 8.5 front wheels? Do they look stretched?

If your front fitment is normal, I rather go with the 225/35 for my 7.5 front wheels then and 255/30 for my 8s in the rear.

Not sure how you'd define this - this is the first time I've modified a car, and it obviously stretches more than the OEM wheels, but nothing extreme like I've seen on my friends' cars. I was actually deciding between a 225/255 setup or a 235/265, but was worried about rubbing since my drop is quite low

As you mentioned, its only a 10mm difference -- 5mm per side. A 7.5 wheel can definitely hold it. I just ran two track days this past weekend at Willow Springs, and they did just fine, aside from the fact that the front needs camber (which is normal, and will be fixed shortly -- ground control camber plates on their way).

Liquidpaper , would you mind sharing some pics to see how the tire looks like on your 7.5 and 8" wheels please? Thanks!!

Thank you Icy! They don't look that stretched, actually they look great! I appreciate that you shared that picture man. Cheers!!
