Robi, can you show is a side view pic? Looks like there is some fun to be had in the near future. It also looks like the speedometer will be reading a higher indicated speed than acual speed. Oh well, who cares if you can tell what speed you are doing on the track.

No you were looking for more DISH (how concave the wheel appears from the outside)

Is that with or without coilovers? An Evo VIII/IX can also run 285/30's on 10-10.5" rims with aggresive rolling and 285's on 9.5's with minimal rolling. Is the 285 the limit or can something bigger be stuffed in there for those that'll look to run a X in Solo II SM? I'd be interested in hearing more details on fitment of the 285/30 vs. the Evo VIII/IX...not that I plan on getting rid of my VIII for a X anytime soon...just curious.

I am curious on the nature of the rolling and where the camber ended up (approx, no need to give up trade secrets) to get these to fit. I have my fenders rolled to a knife edge and pulled (flared) in the back to make my race tires fit. My street stuff (275's on 9,5 et 35) fit with at least 5/8's" space at -1.6* camber in the back.

Robi, that looks great, but what I really want to know is what are the widest tires that will fot on the x w/out having to do the fender rolling. I only ask because most of us guys don't want to roll our fenders. I myself would like to put some 19 inch wheels with say, 265/35 or something like that. How big can I go without rubbing issues, and what would be the recommended offset specs for the appropriate wheel size that would house a tire like the one I listed? Thanks a lot man.

No....I wanted to know the offset of the wheels. I am ordering a set of wheels and wanted to go with an aggressive offset. Thanks.
