I really like the attention to detail on this build. It looks great.

my goodness, is this thing beautiful! That interior is also awesome in the two tone. I would leave it as-is.

Nice setup!! The car is gonna look badass when it's done. I love those wheels, I wanna get a set of those with gold/bronze centers. What are your offsets and sizes?

Thanks!

SSR SP3 in Titan Silver
Front: 18x9 +16 MD 80mm Lip
Rear: 18x10.5 +18 SL 118mm Lip

Thinking of going with these size tires..won't know until after test fit next week.
Front: 245/40/18
Rear: 285/35/18

Edit: My rears have been pulled 1" on each side and all four fenders have been rolled completely flat so there should not be any problems fitting those tire sizes.

Thanks for the info. It will def help when I'm trying to figure out my setup. I really don't have a good wheel shop around me and with the wide body kit, getting the right offsets and wheel sizes might be a little harder. Trying to go 19x11 or 19x11.5 in the rear and a 19x9.5 or 19x10 in the front.
Currently I have 18x9 -9 and 18x10 -9 but I have a lot of room towards the shock to go in and get a wider wheel and tire setup. Hoping to put a 305-315 in the rear.

with this body kit, it might make the 18's look small if you keep it at the current ride height. but CalitriSC had 18's with the same kit, except his car was slammed, so i guess it all depends on how low you go

I didn't know the mid disk on the SP3's clears LS400 brakes.

The fronts might rub on really steep driveways with 245/40/18. The rears will fit no problem with your 1" pull.

I have CX Racing coilovers so I'll be running lower. Those will be installed along with my LS BBK, Brembo rotors, pads, and stainless still brakes lines. Daizen Upper control arm bushings, amongst some other goodies next week.
