Custom wheel build/restoration!
Time for a bump. I have been busy with work!
I will be running 3 inch lips (thinking about 3.5) in the front and 4.5 inch lips in the rear. I have finally chosen the finish for the center, And I had my lips dechromed and will be polishing them.
Oh and the coilovers are on the car
Here is a pic of how the car sit now...

great teaser pics, fitment is great. Cant wait to see the final results!
On a side note judging from your photo I think its 11j not 11.5. Rim width measurement is from inside bead to inside bead, not from the outside. Just figured I'd let you know for tire sizing and offset purposes.
Correct way
To get a correct rim width, you must measure from the bead seat (where the tire rests and seals on the inside of the rim). This tape measurement reads 9.0 inch

What do you guys think about a 3D center cap? I think i am the first to do it! Maybe? 

BTW, Falken 452 tires suck for stretching! Look at the gap that was left LOL. Its a 255-35 on an 11.5.
Just ordered General 265-30's.

Thanks guys! I am changing the bolts on the centers now. Soon as im done I will post pix!
