Yeah I was rubbing fender liners and clipping my fenders just barely with the same offsets and tire size . I rolled the rear . Getting the front rolled tomorrow. Rolling the rear helped me tremendously .

So your lowered on H&R also? Your wheels in the rear are 10.5" wide based on your post from another thread. Mine are 10" wide so that helps on the rear fender far as needing to be rolled or not.

Tomorrow I'm gonna detail the car and post some more pictures.

Turned out nice from what i can see. Need better pics.

I hate Nitto tires. Too loud and too hard.

Looks good.

Cant wait to see more pics. Be sure to take some pics that show how concave the face of the front and rear wheels are.

Will do! Weather was kinda crap today, plus I just ordered the new 2012 headlights. After I install them I will take some good pictures and post them.

The coupon code still works bruh! My stock headlights were in crappy shape, and that restoring them crap only last so long and still don't look that good. Its gonna make my car look night & day better! The old headlights aged the car.

Wow, I guess I can't get it right, TSW & Ntto tires here...But in reality my Nitto Invo tires are the quietest low pros I've ever had. They may not be as sticky as other high end brands, but their wet performance is very good (handy in Oregon). I also couldn't be happier with my TSW Nurburgrings!! They are very strong, lightweight, and inexpensive.

To the op, wheels look great! It's nice to have rims that not everyone else has

That does look good. Way to go.



To the guy with the Invo's. Don't mean any harm. It's just that I tried a set. They were quiet but poor performing until really heated. Took time to get heated even in south Florida. Then, after 5K miles they started getting louder until I couldn't take it anymore.
Also tried a set of Nitto 555's, they lasted about 3 days before I threw them out.

Thanks for the compliments!

Sewell shows my 2012 led lights will ship out April 30th! Can't wait! Once I get those installed I'm gonna get some higher quality photos that do the car more justice.
