Looks great

I would be curious on the offsets myself since we are both running the same coils and for the most part same set up. My 295/25 in the rear is fine with my current set up but the 255/30 is not. I want to push my offsets more now with the next set of rims and have a little more stretch to flush the rims more. I just fear the roads I drive on with stretched tires.

Cant wait to see the final product thats still in the making!

295/25?! Thats a beefy tire, I thought the 285s were a lot. Might want to run spacers and maybe get a 235/30 and 275/30 on them... depending on your rim length as well. I would recommend those sizes if your running a 8.5 and 10" set up, but that is just me. Even then, that isn't too crazy of a stretch.

But yeah after my 360s with the "safe" offset, I'll go aggressive any day now. I guess I got over the "new car" feeling.

Less then 5 mph. Just a long exposure within the camera setting.

^ yea I have a 10.5" rear rim and a 9" front rim so those are spec size tires. I have a very mild stretch in the rear. Not a fan of stretched tires and the roads in Chicago are really bad. Im okay with my offsets. What I would like now is to find something that will allow us to correct camber to get as close to spec as possible. This should set the car off really nice but its finding someone to MFG them for us is another story...
