Default Just installed ASC680 & Maya RT5 wheels

Installed the Datasystems and threw it on L. After some messing around, I think I need to adjust my right rear height sensor. That one always shows way lower than the other corners on the display. That kind of explains why that corner is always much bouncier when going over bumps.

The wheels I bought off an old buddy of mine, who had them on his G35.

20x9 +30
20x10.5 +29

They initially had 245/35-20 and 285/30-20 on there, but it was rubbing really bad. I had the fenders rolled, but I also had the tires swapped out today to 225/35-20 and 245/35-20, Nitto NT-555.

wheels look very good. Are you also considering painting the calipers? With that much visibility inside the brake/rotors, you might also consider cross drilled rotors. Just more suggestions on how to spend some extra cash to stimulate the global economy.

I haven't really driven the car yet, but I did drive a day or so with the wheels and it rides great. A tad bit more road noise, but that's to be expected. I just have to remember to be wary of potholes and road hazards.

Oh I've got a full vision of what the car will look like. Futura Design BBK will be in the near future after I get a kit.

looks nice, but more importantly, what color is your interior. Some pics looks like saddle, some looks like it black. Little confused?
