    current setup =

    Sportmax (xxr) 002's
    Front 16x8 +0
    Rear 16x8 +0

    225/50/16 Bridgestone RE-01R Tires. They're Flipping awesome!!! Buy the new RE-11's that replaced the RE-01R's. You will NOT be dissapointed… well maybe with the price, but its worth it.






    new setup
    Rota P45R:
    Front 17x9 +25
    Rear 18x9.5 +20
    10mm spacer font
    5mm spacer rear for +15 offset all around. ***This spacer combination is not good. I have literally 1mm of clearance between the tire and the coilover. I've ordered 25mm front and 20mm rear spacers for an overall offset of 0. Should give a lot better clearance and make the wheels sit flush.***

    Repainted with the duplicolor bronze. It's a nice dark, rich bronze color. should look good on the red car.

    Dunlop Direzza dz101 tires.
    245/40/17 front
    265/35/18 rear


    Here's the battleship with 10mm and 5mm spacers: (click on thumbnails for bigger pics)








    now with 25mm and 20mm spacers:

    Wheel Specs: XXR 521 18x10 +12 all around
    Tires: Falken Ziex ze912 235/40's all around
    Suspension setup: Rear is s13, with stance coils and SPL control arms, modded z32 control arms, and poly everywhere
    Front setup is just stance coils with the camber plates at the top








    still need to put the 10mm spacer on the rear, roll and possibly pull in the rear. Front just needs more low
