So to answer your three questions:

 

1) yes

2) yes

3) eventually

 

 

I always enjoy your videos (and wish they were a little longer).

Good stuff.

 

I would say it stops. The braking power over stock is well night and day. Yeah a longer one will be made in the future. Some talk about a short film has been floating around, but we will see. Thanks!

Honestly, this is one of my favorite 02's. I have seen pictures in other spots and always think that someday I want my car to look like that. Simply elegant...Where did you get that fin?

OK, my $.02 ;-)

Wheels: 16x7.5" TSW Hockenheim-Rs, et20
Tires: 205/40
Suspension: Front - Billy Sports, Eibach springs; Rear - Billy HDs, Eibach Springs; ST swaybars (lowered ~1.5")
Other: Rolled fenders front & back. No rubbing.
I've had it lower, but raised it back to current height since it's a daily...

Hi,

I am building a turbo tribute with OEM flares. I was thinking of 15x7 et12 with 205-50-15. I want a close to stock stance but want to make sure I fill up the flares.

What do you think?

Thank you

Chris

 

I'd like to know too!

Sounds about right.  Turbo flares (OEM and IE) give you an additional 2 3/4" past the stock body (bear in mind that each installation varies a bit so NOTHING is guaranteed unless doing measurements on your own car).  Using that information along with a minimum 4.5" backspace and you'll find a range of offsets/widths that would be useable (see link below on how to calculate it out).
