haha, you're right.

This setup is Volk TE37 18x9.5 +12mm all around
5mm slip on spacer in front
Nitto NT05 225/40 in front
30mm bolt on spacer in rear
Falken Azenis RT-615 235/40 in rear

New setup will be Volk Racing TE37 18x10.5 +15mm all around
265/35 and 295/30 Advan A048's

Just trying to find the wheels is my issue now.

two months ago. I can't deal with the winters in Maryland. In TX, you can drive your FD all year. Except when it's 100+ degrees out. Like AZ.

RE-Amemiya Fender mounted mirrors will be in after xmas, but are being shipped to my painter in Austin, TX, when he's done they'll be sent to me and installed. It's been very hard parking this car without the mirrors.

I'm running the same wheel setup but more aggressive tire fitment. Fronts on stock fenders with roll and pull I fit 265s up front with minimal rubbin but currently run 255s. The rears are on 285s with jus a roll. But gonna do a minor pull jus in case. Once I get the car leveled out and fix my down pipe which sits to low past the body of the car,keeping me from goin lower. But will post pics. But it car looks amazon kinda looks like mine minus the gold wheels. Good job on her

Yeah I'd like to go wider on the tyres so I know that I'm stuck firmly to our British roads lol mines and arches rolled would like a bit more pull on the rear as I'm going 11" on the back, although I'm going smaller on the front the offset will make the rims sits flush with the front arches. I'm planning on carbon front arches at stone point but first I'm sorting out funds for single turbo
