So it's been long overdue for me to post up my build thread but I pretty much bought all my mods in a span of 2-3 months and didn't want to post an unfinished product. Some of you know about my build already but for everyone else, you all just need to know how it looks today.
Early this summer I envisioned what I wanted to do to this car (although the aftermarket part selection for this car is severely limited) and make it look the way I want it to look which is to have parts flow into each other while pushing the boundaries of wheel and tire sizes. After careful research and measurement of the space we have within the fender well area.. I picked out custom width/offset for my wheels, placed my order and waited. During the summer I bought all the mods I wanted for the car and slowly installed everything.. fast forward 3 months or so later I finally received my wheels and now my car sits like this..
Sorry I don't have much pics, I received the wheels mid-week.. spent 3 or so hours lowering the car/adjusting camber/adjusting toe to make the wheels fit and have the car drive properly. Some of my friend's are looking to do a photoshoot with my car soon so I'll add some more pics as I get them.

Love the concave wheels, very nice set up, like the BC coilover with blue spings (how much for the set). What style of your wheels ? I have Forgestar CF10 19x9 & 19x11
It looks great! Always a great feeling to have a bunch of parts lined up installation. I'm looking forward to seeing how those 305s look from the rear shot. 19x12s....bravo! I'm also intrigued with the blue Swift springs, in particular the difference between those and the ones that came with the FIGS setup, which is also 16k/12k. Amazing work nonetheless!

They are about $1300 online. The style is Forgestar CF5V. Thanks for the kind words!

Yeah its hard for cell phone cameras to grasp how wide the rear tires/wheels are.. I tried a few times but nothing turned out well. I'll have my friend's shoot the car soon and hopefully it'll show it!
The blue springs vs gold springs theres not much of a difference, just spring diameter size and no thrust rings because the 65mm is technically too big for our shocks.

I don't know what camber it is but it looks slightly less than yours surprisingly. You'll see when we meet up
More pics! That's a seriously badass setup and thanks for posting in detail the offset/tire setup. It will be a big help as a reference point for all of us in the future.
