You haz Stance?
Post up pics of your stance

Currently Running: 255/40/18 Hankook Ventus v12 Evos Will be switching to: 245/40 Suspension: MR Coilovers Front, GR2 w/ S-Techs in the rear. I will be replacing the rear with a custom set of BR Series Coilovers. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Sweet "stance" on your GS.
Got a question though. What's with the plan to switch from 255 to 245? I would think 255 sits better on 8.5" wide wheels and the reason I say this is because the 245 on my 8.5" wheels look like the tires could be a bit wider. |

Because for my taste I want 245. I dont like the way the 255 sits, plus I need a thinner tire due to rubbing.

i have 4x4 stance soo.. 17x7 (i believe) and 225/45/17
im really considering lowering though. your car looks bad ass and not like a hippo with anorexic legs on its tip toesEDIT: wouldnt putting spacers on the rear help with body roll, but make you weary of being too wide? cause our fenders take up like 95% of one lane. i see your tires dont stick out much further than the fenders but still..

I am sure lovin' what I see here. I'm still in a hippo stance but have wheels on the way and money saved for tires so it won't be long now. I will post as soon as she has been enhanced.

well, im sure not many members would attempt that craZy fitment on an eclipse. but looks good.not sure how hard turning is and the radius as well. they do have sorta flush fitting and less complicated fitments. plus hubcentric spacers, just beware, for the legit kind they run $120 a set...people buy ebay, but i wouldnt cheap out on an important aspect.

i love your stance man, every time i see your photos it makes me want to spend all my money and just pour money into how it sits and looks.
imo, best stance on the site. This setup and your last setup were just insane. you get stance, bro. you have the eye for a good setups!

oh yeah, it looks nice but not my thing. i like the intense and enthusiastic daily driving. bushings, bars, etc. i will be going down from 255/4o to 245/40 when i get the rear coilovers made.

the thing is that unless you thorwing down like around 350+ you really dont need them that wide a 235 or 225 should do the trick for you ryan since i have a 225 on a 10 and i take 70 degree corners at 65 somtimes...jus set your coils at the stiffest..but if you want all ourt performace go wit 17s a 45 series tire a 17x8.5 with 245 would do the trick for track work

im talking about turning radius, not the fact that you can make a 70 degree turn at 65mph... 2-point and so on. whats width of my tire have to relate to me putting down 350+ ? no correlation. tire roll and all that i have taken into consideration when doin autox/touge. i would not attempt that with a heavilystretchedtire. unless you want a blow out. the point is, i am good where i am at and 245 is the lowest ill go for my x8.5. and as far as going lower, i love where i am at. i have seen all the issues youve gone thru..oilpans, axles, etc...no thanks. especially on a dd. maybe if it was a strictly car show. but not for the occassional mountain/autox runs and daily spirited driving. unless you get a tire specialized for stretching, its not safe. and its not my taste as previously stated. looks nice, but not my thing.

I know I'm bringing back an old thread, but I've been on stanceworks all morning and remembered this thread. I'm thinking of buying a cheap car for a DD and then tossing some money at the eclipse to get the stance more like I want it, with some different wheels. Where I live I couldn't do any lower then what I have and be a good dd.
Here are some pics of how she sits now. ![]() ![]()
