first things first the center caps say "esm" not bbs so don't flame me! not tryin to pass these off as lm's (can't afford those bad boys) haha but i love the style :)

anyways the specs are 18x9 +38....tires are hankook ventus v12 255/35/18. dropped on eibach pro kit with whiteline camber bolts set at -1 degree. although i might have to back off the camber a bit because they barely clear the suspension.

also want to change the lugs...they stick out too much for my taste and don't quite match the center caps.

sorry the pics came out so big...not sure how to make them smaller.

also...is it bad that the wheels are so close to the suspension. should i look into
fixing that quickly or will i be alright? i haven't noticed anything while driving it.

wheel in relation to suspension clearance should never change. if it does, you may have some issues...

how's the front fitment, does it stick out much??

SVThis 10-17-2012 07:53 PM

I like. A lot!

Apollo_1092 10-17-2012 07:59 PM

That looks amazing. I like how it makes the car stand out even more. Well done good sir (or madam).

it pokes a little but its not very noticeable. i was worried that it would poke more actually but with the -1 degree camber its pretty flush.

in that last picture the steering wheel is turned a little so the wheel looks like it is poking more than it really is.

looks very nice, not digging the red lug nuts. too much color.
but over all looks very good. nice color combo. not too ricy

haha it is dropped on the eibach pro kit :) it looks lower in person though. i didnt want to slam it...just going for a clean look.

coilovers will definitely be my next purchase though...i don't like how close the front wheels are to the stock shocks. i know they won't move in that direction but it makes me a bit nervous still.

Really? Pictures make it seem like you are not dropped at all :bellyroll: What coilover system were you planning to get? Maybe a KW V3 Coilovers for the FR-S / BRZ?
