Pic Request: FCs with vert wheels

I am looking for pictures specifically with this:

1. Must have vert wheels, state the wheel size as well.
2. Must be lowered, coilovers or springs, please state how much the drop is if possible.
3. If spacers were used, what thickness did you use.

I request this, because I would like to know what this looks like with different setups.

I will be using Tien Type HR coilovers and some kind of spacer, probably Powered by Max spacers.

Here you go:




In these pictures I had:
225/50-15s
coilovers adjusted to put the top of the tire level with the fender (don't know the drop)
30mm spacers in the rear and 25 up front.

That tire and wheel spacer combo is rediculous, geez... I think I have read somewhere that the front has a little rubbing. So far I'm looking at 15mm spacers in the front and 25mm or 30mm in the rear. can we get any close ups of the front and back?

My front fenders were not rolled, and I did experience occasional rubbing.
I had it like that for a short period of time and then pulled the spacers off the front. You could run that combo with a fender roll or narrower front tires. I was going to get 15mm spacers but I think you would have to go slip-on and lengthen the studs (because there are no recesses in the back of the vert wheels for the studs to protrude into). I probably won't bother with that because I have a couple other sets of wheels I want to throw on. The vert rims are awesome though. Hard to beat for performance and bang for the buck. I'll look for close ups later.

15x6.5 if you want to get ****




That was with Tanabe GF210's. I haven't snapped pics of the car yet dumped on coilovers. Spacers are a necessity if you want it to look good.
