Thanks man! Yep, just shipped them off today to the new owner.

They're going to a good home though... a black Nismo in San Antonio TX. Can't wait to see them on his car!

What sizes specs are the new ones? Volk RE30 I'm guessing?

They are Bay Speed BSD Vented Side Skirts (IMPUL reps). I thought they flowed well with the vented fenders. Fitment was terrible and took a lot to fit along the sill, but pleased with final product.

So after reading what seems like countless pages I still have unanswered questions.

1st kudos to all the GREAT setups on here!

I am looking to replace my stock rubber this week and want to "expand" a little bit. I am considering the popular 265/35 285/36 RE-11's on my stock Rays.

Will I see/feel the difference in the OD decreasing .5" in the front and increasing .4" in the rear from stock. For some reason this doesn't sit well with me (little OCD) knowing my tires aren't the same OD.

I considered going 305/30 in the rear which would put both wheels at 26.3" OD. Will this tire fit properly? I heard someone mention that it may not increase the surface area since the tire will be constricted to the stock rim.

I will probably be purchasing wheels before I get new tires so I would like these to transfer over nicely.

I am running stock suspension/camber with no spacers.

THANKS!

Yeah, I sold the SSR's

But I'm enjoying the new setup. Way more grip and I lost 10lbs on each corner
