The 19's kind of fell in my lap so I jumped on it. Thanks for that. I know the rims themselves arent anything special by any means but again when a deal bits you, you cant really say no. Plus this way I dont freak out every time I hit a bump, crack or un seen pot hole on the wonderful roads in Chicago seeing how they are OH so great! Going smaller on the tire just isnt and option due to power output. I know I need spacers for sure just dont really know how much I need. Yeah their cars are low as hell for sure and I love it. I should or at least think I should be able to go close to that low sitting on my Tein Type Flex but I could be wrong. I think you may very well be on to something with the camber because I have yet to get an alignment since I put the Teins on.

What you compromise in diameter you can gain in width. I'm not sure what your widths are, but there people who stuff 10 inches beneath the car. That'll help control that powah. In the meantime before we start talking about spending money, how about we figure out how to make what you already satisfying to you.

Thanks, I really wish I had the ballz to crack open my tailight so they are clear too. I tried it in the past with a different car and it wasn't a very fun experience.

ONE rear rim and tire on my car weighs in at a massive 58.5lbs. I have 117lbs worth of rear wheels alone and I spin them like they aren't even there no matter the launch or no matter the gear. The rear wheels are 19x9.5 with a 285/30/19. Personaly I think the thing with those who are rockin 10" wide rims aren't tuckin rim so they aren't worrying about getting the rim and tire under stock fenders. The reason for the tire stretch is to help push the envelope of rim fitments. I could be wrong though.

The thing about my wheels is that they don't "fit" at all. Looks great to me but if I didn't stretch the tire that much the car would be undriveable.

If you're pushing that much power and it really doesn't matter what gear you're in; if you can spin those 100+lb wheels there's not much that's gonna change that. Maybe a lot of extra weight in the back. sand bag it? Lmao

I say drop down to 17's and get a meaty Fitment going so you won't have to poke or stretch the tires. I think maybe Battle stanced, you're FC would be insane!

I don't know how people can't like it, it's just a larger version than stock with a little more aggressive angle to it.

this car was for sale on ebay a few years ago... are you the lucky new owner, or the seller that realized he was making a huge mistake and changed his mind?

p.s.- painted hood looks much better than the cf! I've been thinking about getting that hood for years (to clear my air cleaner) but never cared for the cf look

I really love the cleanliness of the CF hood with the molded in scoop. It looks a bit sharper than a stock t2 on the lines but, the fact it is 1 piece really looks good. Should I ever need a hood I'm sold on getting that style.
