Default Last Setup and probably done...for now...

Hey guys...I don't post much on here because I barely have anything to contribute but I just wanted to show you guys the new setup. I took my old Scaras and rebuilt them to 18s. Before they were 19x9 +20ish 19x10+20ish. Now they are 18x10-10 and 18x11-22 w/ 5" lip front and 6" lip rear. The color is matte bronze face, gloss bronze lip and I think matte black bolts lol w/ Trinidad James gold valvestem. I made a mistake of running 225/40 and 235/40. I wanted to be safe since I daily it but now I cant go lower since the tires are hitting the fender. I might still try to lower it this weekend lol. Sooo im trying to run 225/35 and 235/35 OR go 215/40 in front and 225/40 in rear. I also got my old exhaust on, 5zigen Fireball(not in this picture). No official shoot yet since no one wants to do a shoot on it but yeah. Now I can focus on my 86!

AEeighty6. Still looks great. Always have loved your car. I do think i like the Scara's the way they were though ( like in your signature ). It really made your color pop to me

Thanks man! I appreciate that...you know I thought about keeping them full polished and just going 18s...but man...I daily my car everyday and like it was such a hassle to maintain it lol!...i got lazy...plus I wanted to do something different not involving polished or chrome...its kinda easy now cuz brake dust blends with the wheels lol!
