Build looks sick!
How are your SPC camber arms? I've been doing some shopping around as per what to get. Still very unsure.

build quality is pretty good on the SPC arm. I bought it becuz i was rubbing a bit at the back and requires some more negative camber after lowering

Yes. 18x9.5 square. Car rides better now, handling is more nimble and brakes better too but might not look as good on 18s but im fine with the look. Will shoot some better pics later today

Nice choice! I'm considering several 18" wheels but trying to figure out the best setup for our cars. There just aren't too many examples out there. Can't wait to see the new volks on the ride.

Some quick pictures, running 5mm spacers at the front as front wheels are touching the knuckles should have ordered 35 offset instead of 40, need to put 5mm spacers at the back as well and probably lower the car a bit more to look aggressive but so far thats how it sits now

with this new wheel setup, i think you need to go lower to compensate for that gap

but tbh, I liked your previous setup better than these TE37s

Look is better on the previous setup but car handles better... i guess there is always a tradeoff... im gonna lower the car a bit more and see
