Well my car is on stock suspension setup, The front poke a little 1.5-2cm-ish rears are fine no poke there but have a stock camber of -1.5 to -2. I would recommended you get a camber bolt to make the front the same camber as the rears then there should be no poke at the front.

The tyres I'm running are Kumho 245/35r18 92y ku31.

My setup cost me $1000 for the wheels and $688 for the tyres, being in Oz yourself you should be able to get them also for about that, let me know if you want the sites. :happy0180:

Yeah sweet, send us the links.. I'm thinking of ku39's
Also chucking in Shockworks coilovers and dropping an inch, so I'm gonna need rear control arms cos I don't want the rears tucking in anymore than it is

Also anymore pics to show how much poke and tuck are in the front and rears?

If you want KU39's they cost $260 (they were like $200-ish afew weeks ago), KU31's cost $172.

Wheels from: http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/whee...ctswheels.aspx
Looks like they don't have any Chromium Black (like mine) just Matt Black and gold (cost you more $$$)

Tyres from: http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/store/ty...re_diameter=34

@KAOS86 did you have any problems ordering with ozzytyres? Apparently they pay peeps for positive reviews and the negative reviews they do get are usually about delayed shipments (up to 8 weeks) and having to pay extra for "expedited" delivery.

I had no problems got my wheels in a matter of days, I just went with the free shipping option. They could of had stock on hand at one of there stores in the greater Brisbane area.

Damn your car is hot! Did you get the wheels on special? Also what body kit do you have?

That's what I like to hear, lol. Wheels were normal $ for the site I gave, they seem to have run out at the moment, the American site (out of 18") would be cheaper.

Body kit is Zele front, INGS side & rear. Note that I modified the INGS side steps, filled in the air vent things and trimed the part that went under the door as that bit was way to close to the door when closed and was rubbing .

Also with this kit on the car it makes it look wider without then need for a wide-body kit.

Just need to drop it about a inch and the 86 will look mint!

I like the shine on the chromium black over the matte black. Do they ever look too shiny/chrome though? Wish they came in gloss black

No they aren't too shiny, the chrome just makes them pop and they show up much better in photos, matt black will loss a lot of fine detail in low light photos.

Yeah that chrome in that image is way over the top, looks nothing like that, I won't mind a touch more chrome though.

Now the next decision.... 17 inch for best handling and keep stock tires or go 18 inch for better look and shell out a few hundred on tires.....
