Lol guess you decided not to post the pic of your rusted fender 265s would be ridiculous. 255s MAX bro. But looks good. I like that track stance. Now you just need some real TEs

Surprisingly, yes. That's why I used it again for these tires lol. Used it on my stocks and they did really well for almost 6 months. Barely any wear on them.
Here's what it looked like on the shit stock tires

Looking good Simon. Rears look like they are realllllly close to rubbing. Roll your fenders!

Much impressed with your progression and ability to find deals.

To my surprise, it actually doesn't rub in the rear and actually clears with a bit of room left I do need a roll though. Maybe even a shave but I think I'll stick to rolling first lol

As long as the roll doesn't deform the fender, do ittt.

^it likely will mine buckled a tiny bit, and it was only a moderate roll. Probably has to do with the way the fender and rear bumper are lined up (the cut off lines)

Imma try to avoid doing that, I personally hate the "pulled" look on fenders even though my front got rolled and sorta "pulled" by being slammed on stocks

I actually have no idea on the width, but the offset is correct. Seller stated they were 18x8 +45. It's either 8 or 8.5. Forgot to measure them when I mounted the "new" tires

LOL I cut people off all the time but not intentionally... I'm an asshole driver on the highway when people drive slow as shit and block up the fast lane. But that's only when I feel like driving fast. so they won't be getting my plate number either way VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!

Test fit? That fitment tho . But in all seriousness, RPF1s actually don't look bad on the 2G surprisingly. I tried looking for pics of CU2/4 on RPF1s before I bought my XD9s and couldn't find anything Thanks for the pics

So, uh, you wear fingerless gloves to school?

Like, is this some sort of Michael Jackson school? Or do just your palms get cold but your fingertips stay warm?


^^ "Acura, it's fingerless gloves sort of thrill!"

No point imo. Now if the car was damaged a bit more then maybe, but it's just not worth to me. I was eventually going to strip the interior anyways soooo this just gave me an excuse to start early lol

Use insurance to pay for "water damage repairs," then take the check and apply towards racecar mods.
