Default New TSW's

After much procrastination I finally got some new wheels. My '98 is static and these are TSW Silverstones on 225/40ZR18 Lexani rubber. Unfortunately, the 9.5" I wanted for the rear were sold out from now until forever. These will do for now.

Love it D-Rock!

It looks like I can duplicate this fitment with an 11.5" 14et with 4" lips up front and 13" 6.6et with 5.5" lips out back!!


Or less aggressive and flush it up with a perfect fender to lip and tucked tire fitment, with 11" 20et fronts and 12.5" 13et in the rear with 3.5" and 5" lips respectively...


What to do... What to do?
Thoughts?





Gotta figure it out soon as I want to order the lips soon.

If you were referring to me...here you go. It's a stock bumper which I modified to delete the fog lights. This shot shows the lip installed which is now gone - I kept tearing it up so it wasn't very practical for daily driving.

+1. I had no idea that deleting the fogs could/would look so good. I think this might be a nice future mod for myself. Especially considering how useless the fog lights are on the ucf20. Barely any additional light output with the HID's. -__-

Thanks guys. I'm pretty pleased with the look as well. Now, before we PO any of the moderators for discussing bumpers on the "wheel setup" thread...if you want to continue this discussion, here is my original thread for the mod. In it you will find (as always) varying opinions about the value of keeping/deleting the lights, my modification methods, alternatives, etc. Enjoy.

1. Welcome!
2. Please familiarize your self with the FAQ threads in this sub forum


3. You are quoting a person who posted in 2007, or 7 years ago... Probably not going to get a lot of help from him.

Perhaps details on your car and setup would shed more light on the problem. Same wheels alone means nothing with out what else you have done/specs of tires and wheels and drop and if your fenders are rolled or not...
