Ahhh Yes. Thank you for the compliment. Those were the days. I've gradually transformed into a 1 piece wheel guy for the FD. I also like the sleek look 18 inch wheels give over the 19's.

I can't tell from the pics, does it look a little stretched with 225s on 18x9.5 wheels? I'm going to run 235s on 18x9.5s and I think I need a tiny bit of stretch to avoid rubbing.

Update on 19's
Here is the latest pictures with the side skirts installed. Actually they don't show up as good in these pics BUT it really helped the looks of the car. I did wind up having to roll the front fenders, I was real careful with driving it at first but one day came into the driveway a little too fast and the front left tire caught the fender and bent it and busted the paint. If you are REALLY REALLY careful you might be able to get by with not rolling the fenders, but unlikely!

Supraman. I think you got it! This is the 1st stock bodied Fd that didn't look disproportionate running 19's all around. 19's obviously work with the correct ride height and side skirts. Your car is very clean by the way.

Did you get this roll/pull done without having to repaint?

The wheel he has pictured doesnt come in that size.

The wheel you stated doesnt come in that size.

The P45R2 DO come in 18x10 with a +12 offset. And its black with the chrome lip. A wheel not pictured on that yellow FD.

So yeah...
