thanks wheeldude: dpt pics
here are some pics, thanks wheeldude!
feel free to use them in the gallery, etc
dpt 17x9 (+42), 275/40/17 kumho v710
(fyi no these are not my daily driver wheels haha..)
didn't rub at all or too much during moderate to quick 30 mph cornering, but raised the car just a bit after these pics just incase for motorsport events.
there is plenty of clearance in the fronts with the coilovers, didn't really measure the specs but looking under with a flashlight the rears seem to clear fine with more than 2-3+ mm.
with the 275/40/17 did notice a bit gearing difference, but not too bad, especially with the new 2.5l setup and ra gears.
245/40/17 dunlop star spec vs 275/40/17 v710

sorry no side views, i was pretty much focusing on the fitment and offset shots around the fender. they are the ce28n replicas though.
the dunlops (star specs) are AWESOME, ive done quite a few auto-x events with them as well as a road course (PMP in pueblo, co), which are also my daily driver tires. ive never had any experience with the 050 and RS2, but from what other people are saying, these are going to have more ultimate grip, Especially for the cost. the only street tire ive had experience with which i felt faster in corners with was the advan neovas (225/45)...which are ridiculously expensive though imo. the 225/45 felt just as grippy if not more, plus better steering response (prob due to the 225/45 size). with the dunlops you really have to play around with tire pressure to have this ultimate grip i learned.. 47psi in front, and 44 in the rear works best for me at auto-x and i used less pressure in the rear for the track since my rear end kept wanting to slide out. pressures in the 30's worked well for me with the neovas.
tread wise, i think the dunlops are holding up very well. my current static camber is somewhere around -2.5 fronts, and -1.3 rear.. i think.

1. yokos
2. dunlops
3. bridgestone
4. hankooks
but its all personal preference i guess.
v710 > neovas
