I think I'm going to do it when I do my exhaust/rear MM because most of that needs to come out anyways. I have a downpipe and some other things to put in. I might look into figuring out how to set up a manual steering rack with the original one.

So I took my car to the track sunday. It's a go cart track so very short and sharp turns etc.

I believe my biggest setback was my wheels and tires.

So I am wondering, what is the widest wheel + tire combo (17 or 18) I can fit on my car with a stock suspension (+lowering springs) and stock brakes? Also, at some point I would like to upgrade to stoptech brakes, how big of a rim will I need to fit them in.

car is a 94 VR4

honestly I'd go with 18x9+42 ish offset.

your still going to be in a bit of a battle for the spoke design, there is "garanteed" offset, you need to go to a shop and just try rims till you get somewhere

I went 19x10 with a fair amount of stuffing around, planning on 18x11 in a few months)

Is that with stock ECS struts and lowering springs or do you have coilovers?

the 18x9 +42 (or +38, don't go much past +38 if you want to avoid having all the annoying shit start to happen like bump steer/bearings failing prematurely)

the 19x10 and 18x11 are with coilovers, knuckle adjustments and custom camber/castor tops.
