Thanks, I bought them today at a shop here in Miami called ESR performance with tires mounted. I"m sure they sell these on ebay and all over the internet. I know they a make them in 4x100 and 4x4100/114.3 universal (the ones I have)

Looks good! What's the tire size? How much camber are you running?

Be sure to have a full tank of gas when measuring the rear height. Without the load or weight, your measurement will be off...im referrig to how low to go.

195/45-15 I got them stretched because I wasn't sure about the fitment up front the wheel being 8.25" wide.

The fuel tank weight never came to mind. Thanks for reminding me. The tank was 3/4 full when I lowered it though.

I will check the camber later.

My fitment is almost identical, but my front tires rub like a **** during hard/track driving. I have stock -SE wheels with BFG g-force for track days now...

Probably going to have to raise the car a bit. Today my RB exhaust scraped a small speed bump at work.
