Not a fan of maxjax. Had one. Much much much prefer the quickjack.

Swapped my stock wheels on as the 21" HREs get refinished in a brushed clear and new PS4s. Also put on the o2 extenders to see if it can get through emissions. If that doesn't work, will have to swap the stock cats/exhaust on for emissions which sucks, but not end of the world.

The setup/anchor setup was just poor. Took a lot of time to setup. Anchors kept pulling up, and just didn't feel safe.

Oh that would be super dangerous. And they say it's removable but I don't see how you unscrew bolts every time. The concrete will weaken every time I do that.

In the scheme of things it doesn't take a lot more to get rid of the compromises. I put this up by myself in a tight garage with 9 foot ceilings for $2300.

With the upper bar, it'll be much more secure. That's only if I have 9 foot ceiling...

I just ordered GT3 RS front side fenders...Is that a mistake....? Would that affect handling positive or negative way a lot?

Installed GT3RS front wheels and GT3 rear wheels on my TTS with 255/35/20 315/30/20 Pilot Sport 4S’s courtesy of SupremePower.com.

^ Can you please post a picture with a perspective on the front wheels aligned with the side of the car? I am on the fence about the GT3RS offset for my car up front (have GT3 offsets now) and want to see the poke with your setup.

What's the width difference between TTS, GT3 and RS?

I don't think the body widths differ within each generation for the models you mention. It's the wheel offsets which differ, and that determines how tucked-in or pushed out the wheels are. Another variable is center lock (CL) vs. 5-lug wheels.

For example, with 5-lug wheels one can use spacers to push the wheels out a bit, but you can't do that with CL wheels. Aftermarket wheels for both CLs and 5-lugs tend to have more aggressive offsets (pushed out) than OEM wheels. Also OEM GT wheels have more aggressive offsets than OEM TTS wheels.

I meant the width of the wheels between models. Sorry. So if it';s just offsets, the tires remain same?

Yes, just wheel offsets, tires remain the same if the wheels are are the same widths.

The RS is a 9.5 inch wide front wheel with an ET50 offset. The TTS and GT3 are 9 inches wide with a ET52 offset.

Yes you can. I have CLs and use an axle spacer to push out my front wheels. I’m considering the idea of swapping to GT3RS spec front wheels (9.5 ET50) and eliminating the spacer, or leave the spacer and also run the RS Spec. That would be a lot of poke, and it’s why I asked 9forty4 to post extra pictures…. Thanks man!

The RS wheels are wider up front so tire width options increase. I would run a 265 if I do this.
