My tires finally came in today. Slapped 'em on the rims and I can honestly say I was pretty satisfied with the outcome. I ended up going with Hankook Ventus V12's. I'm running a 225/35 on a 9" up front and 255/30 on the 11's in the rear. It was the perfect amount of stretch I needed for clearance. It looks really sunk in the front right now but thats with the air fully delated in the front. When I raise it back up the camber is not as negative so it kinda balances back out. I think I still might go with a 10 or 15mm spacer up front. We'll see.

Its been just over a year now since I bought my car and not long after I bought a Garson table telling myself I'm going to make it into LHD one of these days. Well after one year, that day has finally come LOL. It's been sitting in a box in my garage all this time and I just kinda forgot out about it LOL. It was really just a matter of taking it apart and tracing it backwards.
I know JP already makes tables for LHD already but personally I like the shape and detail of the Garson one better. Hopefully mine will be up to par with my standards when I'm done with it Don't ask me if I'll be making more because the answer is NO

Big thanks to Mike at Dose for helping me with this project.

Now its obviously not complete yet but its not too far away. Here are a few pics of the progress so far. Sorry about the poor quality pics

I'd say a 25 mil spacer in the front would help

LOL ya it cambers in ridiculously with the air fully deflated. It's not so bad at ride height but still could use maybe 15mm. Here's a couple shots at ride height level. Depending on how much more negative camber I can dial in I'll be getting a 0.5"~1.0" wider barrel

Just recently went for a photo shoot. Spent the weekend driving around town trying to find more remote areas to snap a few shots. Enjoy!
