That's right ~ Purdue vs. Duke this Friday....heheh go Boilermakers! 
CHECK POST #14, page 1 for updated more interior/exterior pictures!
I'm trying to keep a simple 3 color scheme going with this car (white, yellow, blue) Yellow is the accent color and I have small bits of blue (the valve stems on the wheels to match the F-logo blue trim)
I'll try to answer most of the questions posted but if I miss yours please just PM me....
AllenISF: I was debating lug nut choices forever and just decided to put chrome ones on for now since it matches the center caps. I don't want black since it just disappears...I want something contrasting but within the 3 colors of my project (white, yellow, blue)
TinCan: 19x8.5, +45 up front, 19x9.5, +45 in rear
raptor22: Yellow stripe was custom installed using vinyl as Advan does not offer this option thus the color can be changed at a later date if I so desire. Yup you have a great eye, I want the CF wrap to highlight the car but not take away the natural beauty of the SFP white!
eXstasy: Thanks mang, bring your USB ISF by sometime and we can go for a ride ~ yup I want that s2000 car cover so save it for me!
Joe Z: Look at my reply to TinCan above for the wheel specs. I'm running offset of +45 all around. From my experience the "brand" of the tire is a big factor in terms of rubbing. For example the Toyo T1r tires on my nsx look stretched up front but that's a normal look. If I used Yoko tires they look fat and bulky and do hit my fenders! On the IS-F the INVO tires are similiar to the Toyo's and look great plus super sticky.
byung: I do have a set of LM's for the car, just not using them right now...I like the Advans so much I may just sell the LM's in the future.

That 275/30 tire would have rubbed for sure on a 35mm offset wheel..
The 19x9.5 with 45mm offset saved you a lot of extra work (fender shaving)
What was your tire size up front?

But then it would rub.... LoL....
Great setup for keeping the performance factor in place..
So Rick.. what are the rims specs and tire sizes.. I can see the rear size, but just curious on the rest of the set up...
I had some fender shaving to get a rub free fit on my rear 19x9.5 35mm offset on a 265/30 tires.. I'm pretty much flush fit, but had to shave away....

this offset is much more agressive than ricks...but rick has an easier time since his doesn't rub at all...
