Talking Photoshoot with my new Weds!!! :D

Okay so finally I let myself spend a nice amount of cash on some wheels and I dont regret it at all!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM!!!
In some of the photo's you will see my friend Alec Rossins Bmw 3 series on HRE wheels sitting perfect...he took these beautiful shots for me!

So I decided its time to "make them fit" and install most of my other new parts that i got for the car. I did not want to go with anything crazy for specs because i was going to be running more boost this season and wanted a beefier tire.
So i went with 19x9.5 +25 with a 15mm spacer to fit the BBK because the face hit the caliper wrapped with a Sumitomo HTR Z two's in size 225/35/19. For the rears I did a 19x10.5 +25 with a 10mm spacer. With the car being so low I used the good ol book and heat gun method to pull the fenders out a bit more. I love the way it sits now!!!

Huge thanks to DENUT-L for the LS400 BBK upgrade and also thank you PHML for hooking up the front RCA's.
I also just wanted to say a HUGE THANKS to Mr.Gs_GTE (AKA JUNIOR) for doing my motor rebuild kit, installing ARP head studs and Titan motorsports cam gear, and looking over my entire motor to make sure the GTE swap runs good!
Thanks for reading guys....ENJOY THE PICS!!! MORE PARTS AND PICS TO COME SOON!!!

Nice wheels and fitment. Why didn't you just order a set to clear your bbk instead of using spacers?
