No these where after! The first pictures are taken with the 215/35 and then the few that I just posted yesterday are with the 215/40!

Don't get me wrong they still have a lot of stretch to them! But not that bad!

You should get one they are fun cars!
You're welcome man! It's definitely a clean car.

I'm hoping to get one soon once I sell my Saturn. I was actually looking at getting a black ES and putting gold XXR 521's or the Varrstoen/XXR CCW replicas on it like your car. Your ES is basically how I wanted mine to look.

I shaved half the fender and rolled the rest! And it only has -2.5 camber in the rear! And it fits fine no rub except for on hard dips or bumps!

I had kaport make me custom spring rates! The ones that u get off ebay are 7.8k front and 5.3k rear and that was to soft for being slammed and having wheels so they made me ones that are 10k front and 8.7 rear which rides smooth actually for being so low! But the rear spring rate is stiffened a 1/8 inch and the fronts are stiffened about 1/2 inch!

Thanks bud!

What kind of shoes? It goes to show right here you can fit 9.5 +22 on the front with no rub if you stretch some tire! And I feel like I can probably fit 10 +25 easy let me know what you think about getting and plus I only have -2.5 camber in the rear with no rim slap so I can fit more!

Love your car man. It is more inspiration for my newly aquired ES300. I have a black interior like yours and Im looking for wheels. I might really have to consider this company.

These are 18X9.5 +22 all around and I'm pretty sure i can fit 10.5 in the rear with around a +10-30 offset depending on wheel stretch. Now the ones on now are about 1/2 in from the coilover so I should be able to fit them without any problems but a little rim slap here and there lol

Tell me what yall think please dont be all negative im going to do it either way but just want to hear what other people think.

PS im planning on getting different wheels these seem weak to me I want more lip on the rims and these have a two step lip that makes it look smaller and they adjust offset by back spacing instead of by lip.
