Thank you sir. Do you think +15 front will be too aggresive???
Nope.
You want something that fits right in without work? I think that with a little work you can get em sitting nicely.
Im happy to get the guards rolled, but I dont want any flaring etc, as thecar is pretty immaculate, plus my wife is a Crazy Chilean Thinking 235 up front and 275 rear.
I would go with 225 fronts and 245 rears to get a nice mild'ish stretch, also suggest getting the SPC camber kit for the front to pull the front wheels a little inwards. 1,5 deg of more negative camber from the upper pivot point should provide around 10mm of more clearance, so just rolling the fronts should be enough with mild camber.

Also you might also need to get adjustable upper arms for the rear as well, especially if your just going with a roll. Don't know how much Mark(actolex) had to pull his rears so his rear wheels would clear, but they were 8mm's more aggressive... Lets wait for his input.
why guess? measure.
Hmmm I don't have the balls to go find nether of the two 3GS's that are local to me, and go jack em up to do some test fitting and measuring. But I bet the looks on the owners faces would be pretty priceless if they would caught me in the act . Keeping in mind that both belong to some old farts whom I don't know :innoutrofl2:
Thanks guys, car is stock as a rock at the moment. only 40k kms on her, so she is still a baby. Ive got BC BR Coilovers for her and just picked them rims up yesterday [img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8391245441_1ecaaac6a5_b.jpg[/img]

Looks good, a few degs camber in the front and f2b rolled and you're all set :biggthumpup:
Cheers, what is F2b brother?
Unofficial acronyms haha... front to back=)
Lol, im very worried about the front, so no talk about spacers lol. Im a federal dealer, but have been reading that those tyres are bigger then they really are, so maybe not a good idea to run Federal?
So you get a great discount, so why not use em? Just pick the skinniest available, with Feds I'd say 215 fronts and 235/245 rears.

i have 19x9 +6 front with 225/35 and 19x10 +20 rear with 235/35 on my 3gs both are sunk and need bigger spacers...

Any pics Yoteru??? I just ordered tyres, 235/35 and 265/30 Federal 595

Got the car back. Rear scrubs, so waiting for PhilB (Guard Roller) to do his magic next week. Front is fine, becuase its not that low. I know it needs to be lower up front.
