Default A taste of things to come

Several things have happened since the beginning of february, good and bad. To start off with the bad, I hydroplaned into a ditch but luckily "drifted" out of it and only managed to rip off my GFX front lip . Also, several trips to my hometown in Jersey I've manged to put some wear on my paint.. WEAK. But, on a more positive note.. I've ordered an ings+1 front lip, NIA eyelids, JoeZ intake, Lexan roof spoiler, Wald trunk spoiler, oh.. and my 19x9.5f 19x11r work bersaglio/lowenhart BS5's, 3in front lip, 4in rear! . I'll be driving 5 hours to Exotic's in Winston-Salem,NC to get the front lip and trunk spoiler painted/molded(along with everything else that needs paint) and my fenders rolled and pulled and car resprayed.. hopefully it won't need to be too much.. here are some pic's of the wheels after I finally finished assembling them and test fitting one rear.



before lowering onto the 2x4's



and after the 2x4's



Feel free to give constructive criticism! Haven't really seen these wheels on an IS or especially as wide as I have them, so I figured it was worth the risk!

UPDATED PICTURES
HAD TO RAISE IT AN INCH TILL MY CAMBER KIT COMES IN :-(




I HATE THESE PICTURES, I KNOW I'M 4X4'N

Looks like you got a nice project going. Not my cup of tea on the color but subscribed for the outcome.

to be honest man the guy I bought the wheels from told me +7 all the way around!!! Now that I've "mounted" them, I'm going to measure for myself this coming weekend.. but I'm excited, I just hope it's not too much for me since I'm rolling static! This is my first real set of wide wheels, so I'm still learning.

BTW, the blue lip is just painters tape to protect it till I mount the wheels!
