thats 8.5" front and 9" rear?

Whats the offsets? I was going to try and fit some 9" front and 10" rear without rolling the crap out of the fenders.. (proper offset :P)

Looks like ~+20 or +15?

I love your car man, wheels look good. I must admit I liked it better with the rotary, but its your car and I see the appeal of v8 reliabilty and if your happy with it then all the better. At the end of the day its your car so pay no attention to the haters.

This cars came a long way. It looks good now.

After a lot of consideration, I'm going the same route. LS1. Less than a year ago, I would have been in the same spot as all these other people, disappointed about the LS1. After driving a few LS powered cars and actually getting a total invested price running vs power vs reliability, its really the best route. I played around with the thought of RB, SR, VQ, 2J, 1J, and others, nothing was really making me happy with how much I was going to have to invest vs how much stock power it was going to make and how long it was going to last.

from me.

Maybe a rear diffuser for icing on the cake.

Dont get my wrong, I like LSx's but All these swaps are rather dissapoiting to me. Time for you all to go over to norotors.

Of course he won't get you wrong, but who are you to tell him to go to norotors? He's probably already on there.

I have no problem with it when the exterior mods stay true to the car's roots and has japanesee influence in it. Car looks sweet and if the hood wasnt open, you would think it was a japanese FC. When they don't look like this redneck crap http://www.holley.com/data/VirtualSh...!16H22M41S.jpg
