    Where's the Beef?

    So, there have been lots of Slammed, Fitted, hellaflush buzz out on the net lately. I think to each their own.... I like it but it's not for me. I think practically and having a Daily Driver EP I just can't (or Won't) compromise my ride quality, handling and overall comfort just for looks.
    I like in between.

    Plus my wallet share won't just go to buying tires that are unevenly worn due to excessive camber.

    And I ride with a Baby in my backseat so having a super stretch Fail isn't really an option for her.

    I would like to see what else people out there are doing to their EPs that "fit" within their ideals.

    All Styles Welcome, but bring some BEEF to the table.

    So here's my Beef:

    17x8 +40 not rolled yet on HFP suspension.

    I spy HFP Vs. OEM bumper for comparison (new HFP rear lip going on in a month or so)










    and an inside shot FTW:


    BRING THE BEEF!

    heres my beef..

    17x8 +35 w/ 235/40 yokohama s-drives, front and rears are rolled with a nice buckle on the drivers side... the rear has been raised about an inch since these pictures (taken in july of '11 after leaving import alliance rice festival) they were rubbing like crazy. oh and the roof rack is gone, using that money for some RCAs

    Hellaflush is the new rice.

    Here's my current setup. 215/45/17 Star Specs. Wish I would have gone with 225s, but it's too late now.

    Nope. I wouldn't recommend running a higher offset then +42 though or you will more then likely rub the rear trailing arm. And u wouldn't b able to run a lot of negative Camber. I have +38 and am close to zero offset and have about 2 inches of clearance from the rear arm

    Would you mind giving some specs on the rpf1's and what it took to stuff a 245 in there?

    225/50/16 Falken 912's on A-Spec Suspension. +/- 0, F +/- 0 R Camber
    I would say the tires are absolutely nothing to brag about, but definitely handles very well. I'd be excited to see what better tires and some camber would do for it.. I like it, and that's all that matters.. :)
