Thanks a ton! Yeah I love the stance. I think it's just perfect. If anything, maybe half a finger to a finger lower. But I don't want to be worrying about scraping anything underneath my car.

Tires are 225/255 MPSS.

Looks great!

How do you access that area? I've been to the 6th street bridge.

AyJay87 · 04-06-2015, 11:44 PM

Yeah, how do you get down there!?

A little secret passage I found hunting around the arts district.

Hi Guys, looking for a little info.

I drive a 2011 135 m sport everything stock.

Looking to accomplish two things.

I currently run VMR V718 - 18 inch 8.5 et 45 front and 9.5 et 50 rear.

1. I want to reduce the wheel "poke" as much as possible without introducing a lot of rubbing or mod work.

2. I want to increase my tire life. I typically run Hankook V12s 225 40 18 front 265 35 18 in the rear with no rubbing at all.

Currently I am looking at getting the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 and bumping them up in width to a 235 front, 265 rear... or potentially 275 rear to reduce poke even further.

Do you think this is possible in my current situation? Anyone have experience with these tires/sizes?

If not, what would need to be done to fit this setup, and would it work to remove the poke I currently have, and increase my tire life.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

ArmAndHammer · 04-07-2015, 08:34 PM

Oh and since this is more of a photo sharing spot here's my ride.

I've actually owned two of these. My first was an 08 in blue.

And my second, current one is the 11 in black. Sorry for picture quality. Never got around to getting a fancy shot of this one.

Wont work. You will rub. MPS AS/3 runs very blocky and wide. Max you can go on your current rim set up is 225/40 and 255/35. You also have to dial your rear's negative camber to 2.3 to 2.5 degrees. Trust me. I just went thru the same issue.
