Playing with spacers to confirm what the fitment is going to look like. Roads are terrible so fitment will be conservative so I can run less camber and stretch than my previous setup. Wanted to run .5" wider but it's not going to work.
Judging by the pics I would raise it and put a much fatter tire, but that is just me
That's a 255/35 on an 11. I think the new combo will be 10.5 on 255/35 front and 12.5 on a 305/30 rear. The car will stay around the height it is now, maybe a .25" lower.

This picture is way cool. I think it's because of the dark lighting outside lol. Good luck with the fitment.
that is still a decent stretch, I have 245/35/20 on a 8.5" and 275/35/20 on a 10", I would but some massive 295F/325R or something like that, also it looks like your projector is aimed inward (towards the high beam housing)

and more pics please
I want to keep the tires around oem height so a 325/30 is out. I really wish a 345/25 or 355/25 was still available. I would have loved to run that on a 13.5 or 14. Here's one more pic for you.
from the side it looks like toy still have a lot of room for a fatter tire, wish you were closer i am debating on doing this (serial nine kit) but can not justify spending this kind of money on a car that is only worth a couple grand. can you use aftermarket side skirts with this kit?

The S9 kit is very good quality and fit for the price but I assume you would want it molded like mines? If so, I would advise against it. I did it myself and it is A LOT of work to mold it. I got quoted $4k just to mold and prime the rear and that wasn't going to work. I also had my dad weld the original fenders back together after cutting, you'll run into some "shops" that'll try to cut corners and not even weld that.
Aftermarket sideskirts wouldn't be a problem, I have the one piece versions from the OEM JDM lip kit. I had to cut the front mounting tab off though because of the way that the S9 front fender mounts but it's still solid.
The kit is inexpensive relative to others but molding is the part that cost $$$. I did it myself but I really don't want to think about how much I spent on sandpaper, filler, and most importantly 3M panel bond (that stuff is not cheap and I used a lot of it). The car isn't perfect, but its solid. I just wanted to tinker with my old daily driver.

Wasted time trying to be cheap. Was going to buy the TC Sportline RUCA's but saw the balljoints were prone to snapping. So..... I decided to buy some Godspeed RUCA's. How bad can they be? First set arrived and I immediately sent them back due to pinholes in the welds (was later told they resold them also). Replacement set came. Got the driver side in no problem. Passenger side was too short to mount to both subframe mounts. Sent that garbage back and got megans on the way like I should have done from the start. Car is currently laid up with no control arms, Fedex needs to deliver early......Don't mind the spacers, I'm in the process of making a final decision on what specs the wheels will be rebuilt to.

caliper is pretty close to wheel spokes, I guess it comes down to weather rocks or debris can get caught in there, the dish is pretty shallow in SSR GT3 center's, which makes it more difficult....I have had no issue's but gap is about twice as much as what you have there.

Got the Megan RUCA installed. I ended up setting it up with minimal camber. This is how a 19X12.5 +5 (6"outer/6.5" inner) should fit. The car had a 4.5" lip on stock body and I really wanted to run a 6.5" lip since the serialnine fenders are supposed to be +50mm. It wouldn't fit unless I went more than -3° camber. I'm too old for that, so I set it up this way. It really ended up being the look I wanted. I don't mind camber but it looks a little odd since the widened fenders angle away from the body. I guess I didn't like so much exposed tire.
