Haha oh it came to life alright. But the project is currently on hold and the exhaust and spare rear bumper are sitting in a box in the garage for now.

So question for you FR500GT,

Love your wheels as I have stated on other threads, lol..

so I'm considering on getting these. I'm going for a square setup, I noticed you have Niche Essen M147 19x10 in the rear. Do you think running this size wheels for rear and front will be OK? and still unsure as to what offset to run if i run this setup.

A local shop told me to run 19x9.5+40 front and 19x9.5 +20 if i wanted a square setup.

And great job on your build, truly love the sound of your RC.

I've been asking myself the same thing. I'm not sure if the 10" would fit up front (it would definitely needed a narrower tire if it did). All of my previous cars allowed wide front wheels/tires but the RC is not very aggressive nor does it really need the extra grip up front lol. You can always order two 10" wheels to test fit up front and worst case scenario run them in the back and order the 8.5's for the front. Let me know what you do!
