Thanks. It's HDR because it's hard to get the right exposure without blowing out the whites while still retaining the detail in the chrome and other colors.
What is the best wheel size to do for an aggressive setup without tucking fender or stretching tire?

Yeah, just some cosmetic stuff and hopefully coilovers to improve the overall handling. I don't want to sacrifice ride comfort, though, so we'll see. I feel EVERY bump in the evo. The post above I asked about wheel sizes. I'll have to do research. Looking at CCW, SSR, Volk, Rotiform, and HRE.

The two front lips I'm interested in are the Vertex and Fabulous. I'm leaning towards the latter because it looks more OEM. Rear lip will be GFX.
Headlights are 7 years old so I'd like to get them buffed. 4500k HID bulbs and disconnect the DRL wire.
Wheels will probably be Work Meisters. I've always loved them. Just need to figure out the right size... Part of me will always want to black a car out, but I really want shiny wheels lol.
I'm paying off the last 12 months of my Evo loan this month, so I'll start modding in October/November.
black with gold bolts
Shiny... ooooo

As far as the specs, no. It'll be sitting in with those specs. However this answer depends on whether you want a meaty tire setup or a little stretched. Instead,
19x9.5 + (low to mid 30's)
19x10.5 + (low to mid 30's)
... That'll be a flush setup. Go with a low 30 if you are stretching tires. Go higher if you are beefing them up. Hope that helps, you can play around with that

IMO, I'd go with the black/gold bolts because I have yet to see that specific setup on the 2IS. Quite a few people have the work meisters in the shiny polished finish so idk, its up to you.

I did a thorough search and couldn't find any of these cars on the black meisters either. I'm not in the car scene anymore, and never really was. I don't go to any shows/meets and I don't follow any of those media groups on Facebook. So I don't mind going with played out wheels lol. I'm not trying to break the mold with this car. Just a nice clean daily driver.
But we'll see. There's always a place in my heart for black wheels on a black car.

Yup, it's a lot of fun. boost kicks in at 3800 RPM and redline has been moved all the way up to 8500. Stock is 7000 I think.

As for the front lips, i'd go for Fabulous for a clean subtle look

I'm basing the specs I posted on the IS that has Hyundai wheels. I really like his wheel fitment.
Nice. what wheels did you have? Pics on the IS?
