You have a completely new set or did you just have wider rears and use your old rears as your new fronts? Looks super dope btw.

Didn't mean to hijack Rob. SSR GT3 barrels are welded so I moved them into some Asanti barrels. Moved the 3.5" rear Asanti lips to the front and put some 4.5" lips in the back. New specs are 19x9.5 (+30) and 19x11 (+24). I'll start my own thread with better pics, but I'm still assembling a front wheel.

Ok i finally picked her up! Sooo happy with the results.
Messed with the suspension some & was only able to install the back wheels. Waiting for some spacers for the front.

Here are some pics;

Thanks guys. got a long way to go still before I think its right.
Got a new issue. Found out that my right front speed sensor was damaged then taped back together, so now i have to buy one of those.
Still gotta get a right front window then I can have the car retinted.
Then an alignment & clear bra the entire front.
New 01+ taillights to get rid of the pink eye look
L Tuned grille (c'mon Mike Mr.Vossen let that piece go!)
Just taking things slow to make sure everything is going together smoothly.
