No, the front end is not modified. Yes, I run them on the front with 315/30-18 Hoosiers. They do stick out a little so if it's a street car it'd be best to stick with one of the setups I have with 9.5" wheels instead.

See the pic below for what they look like. Remember I have a lot of negative camber, more than a street only car would so the tops of the fronts are tucked in a bit more.

Sam,
Hope to see the ride down at FedEx or an AI event in the near future.
Also just got the springs I ordered from you yesterday. That was quick, thanks for the advice.

I really like those wheels. Would a narrower tire still stick out?

He sells the same wheel in 9.5" width, throw some 275's on there and you'll be golden.

Latest update...

Did some more pissing around. Installed a Braille battery, dumped the passenger seat for a Sparco Evo2/L without sliders too. Those changes netted me about 35 pounds more out of the car. Did a little scaling, playing with fuel and corner weighting too.

The good news is on low fuel with the Enkei's I got it under 3500 pounds (not way under, but under) and that's without anything rash. Once I get a lighter clutch/flywheel in there (which I need and is a next year kind of thing, just out of time this year) the total will be less. Mind you my car will ALWAYS have A/C and a Radio. Not sure that the LS seat delete will net me much at all since I've have to put the x-brace back in and @ $1700 right now, that's not high on my list of things to try.

Running this weekend, in Washington DC...hope it doesn't rain. Running it next weekend in Toledo OH. Home to put some new tires on it, etc and then off to the ProSolo Finale with it to see what kind of progress I made since the spring!
