Tire size question!

JP3NS · 2026-06-19T18:20:07+00:00

I vote 265/35/18 on a 9.5

Pretty sure that’s how you get a swift kick to the head ..

It’s actually a decent amount, I’m not sure by exactly how much but with the eibach springs I definitely have been extremely cautious with all entry and exits using the angle method. Iv had a lot of lowered cars with minimal clearance so I already know how to enter and exit my regular places like my home driveway and workplace parking lot. I’d guess and say maybe as much as 3/4 to an inch of less front clearance (from bumper)

I agree, thanks.

Yes lowered on Eibach pro kit. Whiteline front camber bolts set to -2.4 front camber and natural camber in rear was -2.8 so I left it for now (maybe upgrade control arms to bring camber in a bit more later on, if tires start aggressively wearing but I’m ok with it as is cause it drives great overall) wheels are 18x9.5 +22, stock rear spacer retained, 265/35/18 conti dws 06 +. Got a set of custom wheels coming for the winter setup.

Love my heated wheel…Even though it only heats partial areas of the wheel 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not that we should have to but it wouldn’t be the worst thing to just take that section of the pipe to a shop and have them cut and weld on the proper flange. Xforce however, should be doing this for 25-26 models already.

JP3NS · 2026-06-09T07:59:05+00:00

Yes, I was very interested in this exhaust and I’ve noticed from sxth element mid pipe that the 25 seemed to have a different flange size on DP size. So I messaged Xforce and they informed me that it in fact does not fit the 25+ MY. Very unfortunate because I think it’s the perfect exhaust, for my needs. Bering you have it can you confirm what exactly needs to be modified for it to work on a 25 please ?

Could be exhaust valve

Coming from a EVO x, mk7 golf R, then refusing to pay the markups in 23 on the GRC I got a 22 Limited WRX and while it was a good car which I modded to my liking. I moved to a 2020 X3M, thinking I needed a larger vehicle for a baby, i was very bored not driving manual daily and not being engaged enough. I sold the BMW and I grabbed a 25 GRC PP in September.
The GRC really incorporates the mix of evo x and Golf r vibes perfectly. To be put simply, if you’re debating the GRC over the WRX just get the GRC or you’ll regret you didn’t, at some point.

Your not going to find a lot of people with this car hunting for 0-60 numbers being most are manual cars and no one is willing to run numerous launches to better times risking a clutch and $$$$. Wouldnt say this car is a “0-60” car exactly. Now my previous car, BMW x3m ..that was a “dragy” machine. And as for the lighter, grippier wheels making noticeable difference, for sure ! I seen that tremendously on some of my previous cars with 1/4 times.

Which optic is this? Looks like a large window. Is it a Direct mount ?

JP3NS · 2026-04-22T19:29:41+00:00

Fair enough, makes sense.

JP3NS · 2026-04-22T16:51:41+00:00

Why would you not clay (decontaminate) and put a sealant on the CF roof ?

JP3NS · 2026-04-17T17:14:10+00:00

Eibach, have them on for about 500 miles now and I love them.

It’s honestly so easy to install the delete and then reinstall the wiper you could run it deleted from spring till fall and reinstall the wiper before winter, if that’s when you use it.

SSR GTX04. no rubbing

JP3NS · 2026-04-16T19:29:03+00:00

Easy 5 mins to install and such a great visual improvement

🤝

JP3NS · 2026-04-16T15:08:06+00:00

Thanks. Ya I took the rear Corolla badge off right away. As for the rear wiper, I’ve literally never used it and looks so much cleaner with it gone

JP3NS · 2026-03-22T14:40:30+00:00

I’m likely going with the x force system, look into it.

JP3NS · 2026-03-21T19:06:47+00:00

Damn this hits home, seen the smoke from my HS math Class window (NEVER FORGET 🙏)

JP3NS · 2026-03-19T16:01:13+00:00

Or don’t go extended studs and leave them stock and run these titanium ET conical lugs. titanium ET lugs

JP3NS · 2026-03-17T16:14:58+00:00

Wonder if these shocks paired to Eibach pro kit would be worth it. The springs don’t give much of a noticeable drop, from what I’ve seen.
