That sounds right. Yeah it's pretty subtle for a kit. As is the M Sports kit. Those are really the only 2 I like.

It was posted in the beginning of the thread, but it's FN01R-C 17x8 +35 all around. I'm going to switch to 17x9 in back so and run a small spacer up front to clear larger rubber. Up front I'll run 245 and 265 in back.

Those are pretty large tire sizes for the rim widths. 265s are pretty hard to find too. You're building your car for track days, right? What tire are you planning on running?

Well I've been debating between 235/40 and 255/40 vs. 245 and 265 for them.

I'll probably run Toyo RA-1's or something close to that

My buddy is running a set of 9" up front with 10" rears...with 255 up front and 275 Hoosiers on his car.=) He had to pull his fenders more than i'm willing to is why I'm downsizing mine.

I was leaning towards the 235's as well, although 245's are still a very square shoulder on an 8" rim.

Good progress since last time I checked this thread. What knock-off did you get, where did you get it, and how much did it run you. I'm planning on the reald deal G-Sonic Zero-1 but may want to pick up a few of these knok-off front bumpers to trash. Also, if you could post pics of the bumper and possibly fitment pics that would be great

The front looked good, but fit like crap. We've ordered another one to give them a second try though.

It's extreme dimensions unfortunately...we'll see if I have better luck this time. If not I might just buy the real front and be done with it. The side skirts fit well enough I'll live though.
