Nice and Clean!!! Although a front lip would do the trick for me.

thank you.
yes I need a lip. I want a complete lip kit. maybe the five axis front , and tom's for side and back.. or the vertex kit..
but it's difficult again, no one sells them here.

maybe i should go with ebay.com and buy fake parts.. shipping and import taxes will kill me.

what do you guys use to clean your work wheels?
my dealer says i should only use car shampoo, because normal wheel cleaners are too aggressive.

Car shampoo on my wheels, always. If you wash your wheels regulary, you don't need strong chemical.

I rarely use those wheel cleaner solution spray as they tend to be too strong and quite expensive. Some of them smell very acidic.

Picking these up tomorrow morning but I'm a lil worried about fitment on my 2IS.. Anyone running a 19x10+30 up front? Rears are 19x11+35 which shouldn't be too difficult..

Excuse the iPhone photo. Build coming along nicely. Still fine tuning the stance, as its my daily. I'm running less and less camber each week, as I find the fortitude to do so, and ill be coming down 1/4" in the front this week.

Work Emotion CR Ultimate (GT Silver)

19x9.5 +25
19x10.5 +22

225/35 245/35 Hankook V12.
Megan LP/Megan Rear Camber kit.

24.5" to the fender up front, 24" in the rear.

if you're on stock height, i must say those are gonna poke a lot! once you decide to lower, which i suggest you do, you're definitely need to stretch the tires, roll/shave fenders, relocate the fender tabs on the front, and still the front is gonna be pretty aggressive.

What do you mean by poke, do you mean when I'm turning or is it gonna be too close to the fender so I should do suspension first before rims

Thinking of getting some 18x8.5/9 +40/+35 and going with a finger gap dropped on Megan EZs. You guys think there will be an issue? I don't want to stretch/rub/crazy camber
