Polished up, new valves, starting to look for some tires for them now. Will be getting new vinyl stickers made up for them too.
Anyone swapped out bolts before? Having a hard time finding ones that match these.
14" Hoshino Impul's, 6" on front, 7" on rear for the GSL-SE
15" x 7" Auto Bahns for the GS

Is it shameless to say my 13x7 4x110's are up for sale now?

on another note i'm finally getting around to blasting and painting these simmons i've got, any recommendation for tire sizes for 16x7's with slight lowering springs? The rest of the car is on tire dollies, so the entire thing is sitting up 2-3" high or so. Test fitting them had me a little scared due to the sa waffle wheel bolts i was using bottoming out before they were even close to securing the rim(forgot those were longer), but then i remembered i already had some spline drive bolts laying around to use :P

Nice stance! Im running the same size wheel (weds autobahns) and offset, but the fronts dont fit that nicely tucked in. Im running a 195/50/15 also. I dont know if the respeed kit makes the track on front a bit wider. Gotta look into that.

^ coil overs wont change the track width, are you running camber plates in the front?
As it sits currently, Im actually actually running ~5.5 mm wheel spacers in the front to clear the outer tie rods, which began to rub the inner lip of the wheel when I installed my 1" roll center adjusters, so in essence my fronts are sitting as tho they are actually +4 offsets. Also, I wouldnt have been able to get as low in the front w/o the spacers because the coilover adjuster lock rings would rub the tire (only other option would be to find some 6" coilover springs as opposed to the 7" ones im running) and lastly Im usually running ~ -2 degrees of camber in the front which also helps gain wheel well clearence

Not running coilovers, just stock gslse setup with tokico adjustables. Its the Respeed rack/pinion kit. What camber plates are you using? I've been looking around to go that route so it will give me better/more alignment options. Even though the kit gives me a bit of camber option, it's all in the bottom of tire. I'd like to be able to dial it all in using both top and bottom.
