245/45/17 Meaty Goodness 2Point4 Ion

245/45/17 Falken Azenis RT-615's talk about meaty! Every thread I read and every tire salesman when I went to order tires said there was no way they would fit, well suck my white ass! I finally put my carbon fiber trunk on, yes its gay that its only the top but I plan on having the other part wrapped and I can literally carry it with 2 fingers. Car is temp lowered on B+G springs until I get their coilovers. Wheels were bought in gold with a polished lip, then bronze gloss with a polished lip, and now bronze matte cleared. Tires were 225/45/17 BFGoodrich g-Force KDW NTs I loved them but I wanted a bigger tire. The car isn't a Redline, its a 2.4 and the plan has always been turbo. The car has only has an Injen intake because I will be going 3" exhaust for the turbo and don't want to buy a bunch of stuff I'm going to get rid of. GT3076 custom intake and exhaust mani are my plans when I ever get money.

I've already had Team 5Zigen FN01R-C's in Matte Bronze on my Supercharged Z24 and at half the price and the same weight I would buy the "knock off" Drag DR17's again. Paying as much for one wheel (Volk etc) as my entire setup for a $20k car to me is stupid when I can put the money to the snail fund, it's "just an Ion"...

Wheels are 17x7 with a 40mm offset and the tires stick like no other.

That is exactly the look I was going for, I'm looking to put a 10mm spacer or so in the rear so they are closer to the edge or stick a bit out of the rear fenderwell. And coilovers soon to close the gap to no fingers in front and 1 rear like a raked squat.
