hey what did you do for your front fenders? pull at all? I have the same 17x9 +12 but in rota grid, and im sticking out waaay more. Although I saw that you threw 215s on the front (I have 235s), so I will definitely be doing that. As you can see, from my pics it looks like a pull/roll wont be nearly enough.

:werd: Those sidewalls look a little tall though... Are those 45 profile or 40?
Here's 17x9+12 with 235/40 and 17x9.5+12 with 275/40's.
About -3 degrees of camber all around.

Nothing much done to the 240 recent months other than basic maintenance and passed smog test last week. Good for another 2 years.

Great strut bar. Really braces up the front end but it also brought in some vibration to interior pieces and caused several things to rattle especially on highways. Since this is my daily, i decided to get rid of it. Also the bar didn't fully cleared break fluid reservor and heard this clearance issue was hit or miss.

Overall its the best strut brace for the money.

Ahhh... I see. Thanks for the input. That won't discourage me from buying one.

The car got stolen over a year ago now. It's probably in pieces or a burnt out husk unfortunately. :frown:
