Feesho Dro, let me know when the best time is for you. My cousin is down too, the black g35 david just painted. I figure double feature sporty and big body haha. Hopefully I can get the Equips sold soon and cop a different set.

Not too sure on the specs of the white Ls, but they're style 95 Bmw 7 series rims. I think 19x9 and 19x10. Don't know the offsets though.

Jin3198, let's see some pictures. That OG front end is always a clean classic look.

****ty cell phone pics.

I re-lipped mine to 18x10+6 (with my 20mm spacer to clear the brakes they're -14) and 18x11+1. 225/40 and 245/40.

you make me wish I had time to polish the centers, they look really good on your car.

Lookin good Jin!! Equips with big lips will never grow old IMO. At one point, I was planning on painting the whole rim black except for the bolts/rivets to exaggerate the depth. I think that would go well with like a GT style look.

Side note, I'm running 40 series in the front and 35 series tires in the rear to even out the rake a little bit. Don't know if it bugs you at all.

I was actually thinking about switching to 35 series for the front for a little bit more clearance so i can go lower, 40 series in the rear has been ok for me. My rear height is actually pretty good at the moment, would like to lower it more But I have to redo my full exhaust first.

Do you notice the ride being more harsh with the 35 series in the rear? I have a 4 month old daughter so i'm trying to keep the ride comfy.

IMO, I think my 35's run pretty smooth. I know you live in a totally different area, but my exhaust set-up only cost me $200. Simple and effective, you should hop on doing it soon since your on 18's. Must scrape like crazy cause I know I did before haha.

Thats good to know, I'll most likely switch when my tires are shot. Damn, $200 sounds like a really good deal for the exhaust. I'm still trying to figure out what I wanna do with it. My friend who owns a shop was gonna make me a full setup and cut the cat flange and tuck it up, cause thats where I scrape the most. I just gotta decide on how I wanna do my rear muffler setup, as I wanna do quad tips.

Well currently I ghetto'd the exhaust to move it up, just by putting clamps on all the rubber bushings. I was scraping the middle resonators like crazy before I did that. For now its been ok, unless I hit a really bad road with humps then I'll scrap LOL.
