You should consider instead testing them at Homestead-Miami Speedway with me on Sunday. All my runnin' buddies have their cars apart right now!

15x9" TRM c3m's, no rubbing cruising back from the tire shop, but for aggressive driving the fenders will need to be rolled. I've camped out at the Rolex24 for the last 3 years in a row, I'm taking a break this year, my liver needs it. :rofl:.

Most days I'd rather live my dream than watch others live theirs.
And I'm not much for crowds. Or standing in lines. |

Here are some fitment pics of the 245's on 9's on an NB. The rears have pretty much been rolled flat, and the fronts are rolled with a slight pull and trimming of the fender liners.

MOAR PICS NAO.

I need this in my life.
|
Keith has some pics of 245s on the Targa car- check his FB.
|
Targa car is neat. But lava orange Mazdaspeed.
|
I'll take some more pics tomorrow morning and post them. I'm going autocrossing this Sunday so more pics will be had then as well.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy taking in a game now and then, and I've enjoyed seeing the start of the 24hrs of Daytona the last few years in person, but I'd rather do than watch. |

Moar pics happened sooner than later, found some nice fluorescent lighting. :drool: But yes, fenders definitely need a good rolling to fit these on 9's with no rubbing. My 225 rs3's fit fine at this height with no rubbing anywhere.

OOOHHHH! Are you sure you don't want to go to the track on Sunday?
That's a really nice fit. |
:drool: thanks for sharing

Those look great ozbrock, I was just looking into getting a set of the 225's for some 9" 6UL's but now I'm wondering if those 245's would be better... decisions, decisions...
