No, I was not aware at the time of having the tyres fitted that JDM STi's were fitted with 235 instead of 225 RE070's. But the RE's in 235 seem to be nearly impossible to get here in the UK.

I will try and get the 235's when the Conti's are shot.



No, the ducting goes to the brake calipers, keeps em cool
Looks great, any rubbing or rolling involved to get them to fit tidy under hard driving ?

No rubbing mate, not under hard driving and not even on full lock.

No need to get the arches rolled either.

Not so sure the 235's will be OK, will have to check clearances before putting them on.

I highly recommend the CDF Spacers, they are very well made. Just be sure you have a fairly slim walled socket as the recesses where the nuts go are quite tight.

You need a friendly Jap importer if you want the 235 RE070's ... Juggers offered to bring some in (ages ago now though) with a container full of cars

I do have a couple of Jap contacts, will see if I can call in a favour.

Maybe worth doing a group buy?

They are excellent in the dry from my experience, I never got the opportunity to try them uin the wet so I couldn't really comment on that side of things.

All I know is I cant wait to get them back on the car.
