Ballah! No wonder you were suddenly too good for the Cronos.
Which reminds me...do you remember what size rubber MarkP had on his? I'd like to go 235's at least.
Congrats on the Works!

Yes, if your ride height is high enough. I just put on the same tire and wheel width with
an ET of 42 or 43 and it required a 4mm spacer to clear the inner rear suspension.
I also had them roll the front inner fender - I had tried cutting back an inch of the plastic liner, since I was rubbing under suspension compression with my street tires of 235/40/18 on 18x8, ET 35. My ride height is 25.625/25.75.

Marks got 225/45 on his chrono's
I was gonna go with 235/40 Kuhmo MX's on the Chrono's. Wider, same price and I think they were slightly lighter too.
Thanks! :-) I can't wait to get them on. I'll definitely be takin some pictures when it's all put together.

34.75? You mean 24.75 fender to ground?
You still running the Koni M-sports? If so, how'd you manage to get it to 24.75 in the rear?
I'm at 25 1/4 and wanna drop it another 1/4 at least, but it's lookin like I wont have enough threads for the lock ring. Hopefully just having a perch and no lock ring wont cause any problems :-x

my crimson k6 were 18x8 with a 35et and with 235/40-18 tires, would rub only when thrown into a turn
for a split second
my ride height was 25 1/4 front, 25" rear
with stasis track sports 800/900

Those are the 245/40/18s in question and have never rubbed. I have some 255/35/18s i will be replacing them with :-) just waiting to roll the **** out of my fenders so the fronts will fit. They DO rub.
