Rolled around on this setup for about a year. Let's call it phase 1

[Ampliified]

The offset on those wheels is incorrectly matched to your suspension.

Coilovers have been ordered, and I have yet to rub my fenders at all. Fronts and rears are rolled.

Those are some fat tires. Nice looking ride.

Painting the skirts is definitely on my list of things to do, and thanks! I love being wingless.

Coils have been on the car for about a month now. Got a crazy deal on a set of BC BR's w/ Front & Rear camber plates.

(sorry for the crappy pictures. I don't want to do a legit photo shoot until I get the new tires on and the wheels done)

Current stance.

the car will be changing a bit this summer. Downsizing to a 245/40 so I can go lower and eliminate some rubbing issues. Also getting the grids powder coated iridescent white.

WRB with the white wheels will look nice.

Thanks. I agree. They'll be a pain in the butt to keep clean though.

They will be pretty easy to clean if you go with a high gloss finish. They will get dirty quick, but a quick spray will fix that. Ever since I got my wheels powdercoated I noticed they clean off way easier than the painted wheels did.

Good info to know. Thanks!
