sorry, but i keep reading vip magazines and all of them are running 20x9's in the front. i just forgot what size rims i am running. actually i have 20x8.5 with a +36 offset with 245/35/20 nitto 555's in the front and 20x10's with a +43 offset with 275/30/20 nitto 555's in the rear. i made a rookie mistake. i also am running the tein cs coilovers.
if you are not running air suspension i don't recommend dropping the coilovers all the way to the bottom. when you take turns into driveways the front tires will grab the inner fender and start to rip into the tires on both sides. and thats with one person in the car. i used to own a slammed integra before so i know how to drive a dropped car, but with this car you have to drive totally different when you make turns. i guess i gotta try to roll the fender to get some clearance, but i noticed that the top of the inner fender is already rolled about the 11:00 to 1:00 portion of it.

Alright, I picked up the Lowenharts and its on the car. Perfect fit. Does not camber at all but its at stock height. I'll start a new thread with pictures soon.

I have 20x9 +25F and 20x10 +21R...With stretched 235-30F and 245-30R, I am having trouble tucking it in the fenders..(Already cut and rolled and slightly pulled). I also have the AIR Suspension Controller set to EXTRA DOWN.

It might have fit better if I got 10.5 and +27-30 with 255-30-20.
