Tj has the same wheels. BigC, the kleemann lowering module will do a number on your wallet. If you want a different alternative, you might want to ask MbenzNL from this forum. He can lower the car using the Star Diagonistics. You might want to reserve a spot quick because I believe he is coming to the states soon. I got lowered through him and the car looks great(drop wise). (My car isn't as pimped out and doesn't look as good as JamE55's or Vic55's cars but my car is still okay ) Just my 2 cents...

Sometimes it takes awhile to achieve all the "Mods" that one wants to do

Thanks for the compliment. The ride is great. Absolutely no bottoming out or rubbing of any kind. I've gone around a banked 70km/h corner at well over 150km/h just to make sure there wouldn't be any contact... none whatsoever.

I've also had 2 people in the backseat and didn't get any rubbing so the fit is 100% perfect. I definitely recommend these wheels to anyone. CCW is a great company and customer service is 110%.

Oh, and the best part is that the wheels are super light!

Victor,

Very nice and clean! It's amazing how you're able to fit 255 fronts and 295's rear and no rubbing. That's great! Just curious how much do those rims weight?

I didnt put them on a scale, but, from talking with John, the fronts are 21lbs and the rear are 23-24lbs. Combined with the brake rotor upgrade that EVO has I should get rid of quite a bit of unsprung weight.

^^ That is definitely a great setup and combo with the Evo rotors. Have you had the chance to install the other Evo parts? What do you guess your current rwhp is right now?

Hey V...with the 255/35 in the front, didn't the tire catch on the control arm bolt that shoots downward? When I first got my 20's 2 years ago, I tired going with a 255/35/20 in front and found out the day of SEMA that the sideway was too big. The bolt got in the way and the tire didn't move. Anyways, is it just the tire that you are usin has a small sideway? because the last time I remember, PS2's have (or at least it looks huge) huge sidewalls.

Hey BenzoBoi,

The 255/35/19 that I have on my car is 26" tall. A 255/35/20 would be 27" and would definitely hit the bolt. There is just under 1" of clearance from top of tire to the bolt that you are talking about.

The stock tire height is 25.7" tall if I am correct so I tried to stay as close to stock spec as possible. The 255/35 and 295/30 are a perfect match and give me 26" at the front and back.

You should have probably used a 255/30/20 which is 26.1" tall and you would have been fine.

It's been killing me to see all these parts I have sitting in a box.. To date, this is what I have waiting to install:

- Euro Impact Strips
- Water/Meth injection system
- EVO headers
- EVO wires
- EVO cooling system upgrade

We are putting the EVO headers and cooling system upgrade on this weekend.. Hopefully everything will be done before Monday. Am trying to schedule some dyno time to do a before dyno on Friday or Saturday. Then I'll drive for 100 or 200 miles (to let the ECU adapt) and then redyno again to see the results.

Will post results once I am done.

Something even more embarrassing…

E55 vs. tornado.

It has been a few months now, so the embarrassment is starting to fade…

Nothing to be embarassed about. Just glad nothing happened to you or anyone else. Car can be replaced very easily.

Good luck to you.
