for those specs i wouldnt go past a 15mm spacer (+30 offset total), if you decide to roll the fenders flat, you can max out at about 20mm spacer, (+25 offset) since ur wheels are 1/2 narrower than my old ones.
please, if you decide to go with a somewhat aggressive setup (18x8 +25) lower the car, otherwise it will NOT look right...

it will look very comparable to my old wheel's fitment, but please keep in mind that i am quite low, and have ~ -1.8deg camber in the front and -2.8 in the rear. (maxed out adjustments to stay even)

^ HRE 540 18x8.5 +35 offset 245/45/18 OEM spec tires. for sale in the wheels classifieds!!


foggy?

i think he's talkin about the turn signals next to the headlights, not the bumper lights.

ive seen the older style (non crystal) ones on ebay a few times, the 2GS and 1IS reflectors fit on the LS.

I'll definitely lower it as soon as I find a good deal on springs/struts or coilovers.

As for the corner lights, I actually like the orange bulbs. The reflectors in the housing give it a cool look.

I'll be on the lookout for the smokey side markers and perhaps tint them like yours, but lighter.

TJW, I got them from Darrel and Sewell - very nice guy.

TJW, looks good. I'm really considering getting those clear side markers and smoking them.. gotta replace one of the bulbs anyway.

Car looks great

Is there a reason why you didnt stay within stock OEM spec of 24/45/18?


For the turn signals, esp on a black car, you should consider clearing them by removing the amber covers.

I got a good deal on the 40 series Falkens. It looks better too, I just have to be more careful of dips in the road.
