Specs are 19x9 -18 and 19x11 -18. I can't answer that question but judging from several wheel set ups I have seen I doubt one wheel well is much wider than the other.

My apologies, I thought KevinE's question was just in general not pertaining to my car directly. You definitely will not fit these specs in either a 10/11 or a 20/21 without body work or a lot of camber. Here is how they fit prior to body work.




Different wheels but specs are almost identical except the current wheels are 5mm more aggressive all around.

Ohh oki, reason I ask is that I found one on craigslist for 14k, but it looke black color, but it did have very low kilometers and original owner. 14k is out of my budget so I got a used 94 one instead! Haha, but it needs work. Keep us posted with your build.

I'm local to you that's why I asked with regards to the car.

lol, just a lightweight in this game. Anyways, sorry for the crappy pics my cams been broken for a while so I had to use my brothers cell phone to snap these after I picked him up early this morning.

Still got a ways to go from what I would consider a finished project...
- Back feels like it could drop another 1" or 1/2".
- Eagle Eyes are gonna be retrofitted soon with some FX35 projectors.
- I'm gonna see about changing the mufflers to something with a larger canister for a deeper tone. Might just save and get those damn 5Zigens LOL!
- Rust work and repaint, cause some is starting to appear where the fenders and bumpers meet. I'll probably pull the fenders sometime before, just to be safe and save time.

All in good time, I just wanna do everything right the first time. Before I can go lip to fender, gotta do work =P.

Was considering making my own, I remember the pics you posted showing the end result of yours. What degree did you cut the tips to get the correct slant? I could easily get two SS Magnaflow canisters and some long tips for close to nothing and get this done quickly.

Ah I see, good lookin'. What length pipe should I be looking for? Found a diesel pipe that's 3.5" diameter wise and its angled already, only problem is it looks kinda long.

My connect wants to do my Eagles tomorrow and give them back Monday since I got those two days off, I'll try to take some better pics when I get them installed cause the ones I posted don't quite do the car justice lol.

Most recent pics, which aren't really recent, but from the spring, just when the flowering trees were in full bloom:
