ebhopal's Five Axis Firestorm FR-S

[ebhopal]

Heeeellllloooo everybody! This is my first time making a journal. I’ll try my best to keep it updated. I barely post on this forum but hopefully that’ll change. Anyway… I don’t know why it took me so long to do even though I've been lurking around the forums for a while now. A little about me...my first car was a 2000 BMW X5, which I loved, but I had always wanted more a car rather than an SUV. Last year the engine and transmission had gone out on me so I was in search for a car. So from January-June I was in search of a car. I kept looking and looking but I just couldn't find that perfect car. Then sometime around June 1-3ish I went to go visit my sister in California (we used to live there but we moved out here to Texas 4 years ago). As I was there we were cruising along the 405 when suddenly I turned my head and BAM there it was...a Firestorm FR-S. I immediately fell in love and I thought to myself "as soon as I go home I have to go get me one!" and I did just that. So on July 21, 2012 I got my Firestorm FR-S and here she is the first day I got her...


......sadly this is the ONLY stock/before picture I have BUT I did manage to take a few of the after pics. Im not the best photographer but anyway here they are:



Here's the list of the current mods:

Five Axis Body Kit
19 Inch R5:F Gunmetal Wheels on Yokohoma S Drive tires (215/35R19)





Im missing the center cap on this one but I should be getting that piece on Monday.


Clear Side Markers

Debadged the FR-S

Subaru Trunk Liner

DC Sport EX-1013 Exhaust Tips

Upgraded BeSpoke Unit

Beat-Sonic Fin
Tint (not sure about the %)


List of future mods:
Redout Taillights
Exhaust (Don't know which one yet)
Blacked Out Headlights
Eibach Sportline Springs or Coils...not sure yet
LED Interior Lights
Hardwired Radar
Subaru e-Brake Boot
Frameless Rear View Mirror
Replace stock speakers…in my opinion, they suck!

Looks good man. Those tires look like they good but I'd hate to take one to the curb with that much rim sticking out.

I have same issues - what tire size would compensate for this ?

I have 8.5" front wheel on 235/35/19

I have 9.5": rear wheel on 255/35/19

They're perfect.

Just assume that for every 0.5" you can go up +10mm/35/19 and it will look good and function well.

Yea I didnt think the rims would stick out that much. I'll probably go wider sometime in the near future.

Looks great! I just ordered a WR Blue Pearl BR-Z Limited a few weeks ago and already have a list of mods and parts ready to go. 19's and a drop are first on my list so its nice to see the fitment. Is 9.5 the widest that will fit in the rear with a 255/35/19 or will a 10 with 265/35/19 fit? What offset are you running?

Thanks in advance.
