That's a HEALTHY front pull for sure. That back has a pretty decent pull also. You will definitely need a front pull similar to that to fit the 245's.

I wonder why Mr.Greeneyes fenders doesn't look nearly as aggressive/haggered... Guess I gotta go read thru his longa$$ build thread...

Because he is only running 215's.... they don't need to have an aggressive pull. However, it looks as though he wants to run some 235's. So who knows how they will fit with his current fender setup. Also, fitment is going to depend on so many things it's not even funny. How low do you want to go? How much rubbing is acceptable to you? Do you care about fender liners? How much stupid negative camber is acceptable to you? It will depend on the brand and model of tire.

I will be running a 18 x 9.5 +12 245/35, but I am going with a +25mm or so fender. I hate when the wheel sticks out past the sheet metal and the look of a stretched tire. So that's why I choose the fitment that I choose. I will be running a 18 x 11 +30 in the back with a 285/30 on my current pulled quarters.

Shoot, that has to be atleast 205 for sure. I have 215's same exact size as your wheels and mine doesn't even come close to that being that stretched. I have Federals S595 btw. 215/45/17. Anyways car looks good!

It is an actual silvia but I always loved hatches so the least I could do was get the flips, just need oem fenders and sidemarkers to clean it up.

Also, here is a shot by Dave in early spring, no skirts.

I know he switched to 215's to slam the car, but in the shots I posted, his specs were 245/45's. I like the ride height shown in the pics. -2.5 front camber and -2 rear camber sounds good to me.

I may stick to my orignal plan with the 17x9.5+12 245/40's all around but I'll keep your input close in mind. If I don't like how the fender work comes out, I'll just pick up some new ones and get smaller tire sizes at that point or get some vented 20mm fenders and have the vent filled in...
