I rolled the rear fenders a lot and slightly rolled the front fenders.
My current suspension is Tein SS Coilovers w/ EDFC, Hotchkis Sway Bars w/ adjustable endlinks, Hotchkis Rear Camber Links, DC Front Strut Bar, Ingalls Rear Strut Bar and all Energy Suspension Bushings.

Alignment settings are -2.2 camber in the front and -2 camber in the rear. 1/16 toe out in the front and 0 toe in the rear.

x4 On why the 275 tire size....at the size 255 is well enough already for traction. Unless he purchase these wheels off of an Evo owner since it looks like it's 5 lug universal.

Watching. Even though they are rotas, that is a lot of tire. Those are the exact tires I am wanting/going to run so definitely write up on how sticky they are.

The NT05 is an amazing tire. I have tried the Azenis, XS, and the Star Spec. The NT05 will out perform all of them. The Star Spec has a little better handling in the rain.
