So glad to get the tires on today - going to throw the other two on tomorrow, wash the car, woo.

The 10mm spacers didnt work up front to give me the clearance to the brakes that I wanted, but rather than return them or scrap them, I put them on the rear. I am not sure what ET the rear 17x10 wheel is, I want to say ET13 or ET 15, but add 10mm so like ET3 or ET5.

The 255/40/17 Sumitomo HTR Z III's are much better than the Kumho 712/ASX or whatever - the 255/40/17 Kumhp's looked stretched more, these work out nice. I was going to get 275/40/17 but I worried that the 10mm spacer wouldn't work - I think I made the right call and am happy with these

Thanks to Vince and Pat @ R/T Tuning in Lansdale for hooking me up and taking extra special care not to hurt the wheels! Looks AWESOME!

Looks great. Those fuel line's look pretty unsafe sitting so low. You should make some sort of cover for them

Car looks awsome man, those wheels are solid! I think the car needs to come down a tad though...

O, and that exhuast Tip is VERY proper!!! great work

Thanks guys - the lines are not as low as they look - probably 8"

It does need to be lower but this is the only suspension they made for a long while. They just came out with coil overs that I am going to get but they require modification to the strut towers. So, its going to take me some time to do that.
