I actually thought about getting rid of the Brembos, swapping out for the LSJ front setup, and selling the brembos for probably a good chunk of change (no clue what those would sell for). I don't know about many of the SS owners on here...but what the hell do I need Brembos for?...during testing, the brakes on the LSJ did good enough for anything I'd be doing. I don't plan on running the N-ring with this thing. Plus then I could get some cheap shitty stealies or something for the winter instead of hunting for a cheap 17" that will clear the Brembos.

Tire rack has a nice sale on some SSR Type-C RS 18.4/lbs each for $129/ea. Though you'll need some aluminum spacers for the front, I doubt you will ever beat that deal unless someone gives them to you abused.

Yes to run a 15 you have to shave the calipers a little, but if your a racer it's worth it. I have lsj brakes in the basement going on in spring to run 15's and slicks.

Hmmm...what'll ya give me for them (Besides your LSJ brake setup)? We could knock that swap out in 20 minutes methinks

And yeah 15s are far too small I wouldn't run those anyways so a minimum of 16 is better than a minimum of 17...with restrictions on offset and other crap...unless I wanted to run some really fat slicks...but you can fit some pretty good ones on 16s.

need to run 24.5's and that's a 15. Your not getting under a 26 in a 16 so good luck. But on a road coarse bigger wheel small sidewall is better

I don't text on holidays or the day before. But you wouldn't be willing to move your car anyways

EDIT: just hit me that you don't have the calipers on the front so it literally couldn't move I fail.
