Thanks! I haven’t driven the car since I installed the suspension and took the pics last week, so I really can’t say yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be some in the front on hard cornering.......As its set up right now I can’t even put my finger in between the fender and the front wheel!

The drop definitely makes the wheels look bigger! Looks like a Ti rollin on Dubs

Finally had a chance to take the Ti for a hard drive with the new suspension installed. Even with the suspension set to the lowest settings I encountered no rubbing issues on my 18x8 wheels. I had a chance to take it just over 200 km/h (125 mph) on a long stretch of open road and the car felt very stable, in fact, on some high speed cornering tests it had a better, more predictable feel than my Porsche Boxster!

I am picking up a set of virtually new 328 calipers and Zimmerman rotors next week. Can’t wait to get rid of the weak solid rotors I’m currently sporting.

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply; I hadn’t noticed that you had posted a question in my thread. I purchased the Mille Miglias at a local performance wheel shop almost 5 years ago. My Ti originally came with Bmw 'style 18' wheels from the dealership.

I purchased my entire lighting setup (Euro-Ellipsoids, CCFL angel eyes, HIDs) from Umnitza.com
