How low is TOO low?

[MumblesOfficial]

+1 for s-techs. just got them in. im running the standard sti 18s but i realised at the last cruise that my tyres are a 40 side wall and some of the other guys have 45s, which fill the gaurds heaps better

Rooby.... Fecking nice man!! I like a LOT..!

And they are "only" 7.5 wide....?? What's the offset?? You don't seem to have that silly tuck into the side of the car with the standard offset rims.

Thanks man, I'm pretty happy with it.

7.5 +45 offset with 235 tyres.

From some angles they still have that stock look but it still looks a heap better than stock in that regard. I wish they came out slightly more but not much. I considered spacers but I don't care that much.

This angle shows the sunken rear more (freshly painted rear rim and brakedust grey front ).

The wider tyres help fill it out a bit more.
Not sure if maybe the ride height helps. Maybe because the tyre comes so close to the guard the sucked in look is less.

It will soon have less negative camber so that will get me a little bit closer to the guards.

There really isn't much room.
To go wider I would have to either:
* Do more guard work. - I already have rolled & pulled all round and a very small amount of plastic trimming in the front so that's not on the cards.
* Get narrower tyres. - Never going to happen.
* Raise it. - Almost certainly not going to happen outside of track days. I'm too superficial

I think I could go 5 mm further out without causing any rubbing issues.
