always loved the rp03's they look sweet.

Your tire set up seems to look more stretched than Paco's rear set up

also, camber specs if you have 'em? looks pretty aggressive (going to be running a 10" +22 set up in the rear soon and am hoping to keep the negative camber to a minimum)

noticed the camber in your "money shot". what suspension are you running? you'll definitely need to roll those fenders some more. car looks great btw. also waiting on your write up for the front fender liner.

btw, any modification to the rear fender liner we need to do to run that size tire that low?

Wow those wheels actually look really good on an SC. I like the low offset and wide width!

i have stance coilovers. they feel amazing. riding this low with such a big tire and low profile height 255/35/18 it as smooth as glass. not stock but damn near close and its not even on the softest setting. i have it, out of 15 clicks, 4 clicks from full stiff.

the fenders dont need any more rolling. i was driving to downtown chicago to party. had 5 people in the car and taking the Ohio exit off 294/94, for those that know, at 80 with no rubbing issues.

i rolled the rear and its all good. not even a full roll. the front was an easy fit surprisingly. i actually had to do more work in the rear then front...and it doesnt rub or bottom out at all. not even at full lock.

Im loving those wheels, I want a set now. Is the black chrome a special order thing or do they sell them like that?

usually they are silver. this finish is called SBC(super brilliant coating). you can order it from enkei like that. they are a bit more in sbc then silver. i dont know if its a special order or not. it might be if the distributor is out of stock. i doubt too many people carry SBC wheels. most of the enkei i see for sale are silver or black.

in sbc they are like 400ish/each.

silver is high 300's/each.

do you anticipate any rubbing when u correct the camber? -3 is a lot of camber to run lol
