SSR GT2 on my 94 FD *pics*

I finally took the leap and purchased 18 X 8.5 (front) and 18 X 9.5 (rear) SSR GT2 wheels for my FD. Tire Rack supplied them within 2 days of my purchase. I’ve been very impressed with their customer service and would recommend them to anyone. In my quest for pictures of these wheels on an FD, I noticed others looking for the same information. Well here are some pictures I took this morning.

Yeah man, the car looks great with those rims. And like everyone else said, get a lip, either R1 or 99 spec.

Thanks for all of the compliments. I forgot to mention that my car is lowered on Eibach springs in the front, RB springs in the rear with Tokicos all around. I do experience slight scrubbing in the front at maximum steering input and I heard it scrub today on a wicked dip exiting a parking lot. I hear you guys about the R1 lip. The peice that is there now is pretty chewed up anyway. I've been debating between the R1 lip or just getting a Feed style front bumper. Personally I like the stock bumper, but mine looks a little wavy up close.

Very nice. Definitely get something in the front like a lip or 99 bumper.

In the first picture the stance reminded me of a 1st gen right away. 3d gens have an amazing look to them and it's neat how mazda was able to incorporate some of that older styling in such a modern looking car.

Great looking car bro... I was also looking at those GT2's. As with other's, I would like to ask how much those were? and offset/rim size?

Don't go for an aftermarket bumper... leave it stock. Looks a lot better, and classy IMO. R1 lip is a must though

All together the wheels with BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tires came to $2100.00. The offsets are +42mm in the front and +50mm in the rear.

oh yeah, when I said stick to stock, I meant that as either 93-95, or 99 spec WITH plate holder of course As you can see, Rich's car is mighty fine too.
