Found 86 headlights on Craigslist, bought and installed.

Will post a video on the install tomorrow maybe.

You might want to check Facebook for local 86 groups. I joined one and posted about my rusty exhaust, and someone offered me their stock midpipe and muffler for free.

Because 17x9 with 245/40 keeps the dimensions closest to the OEM dimensions. Which means most accurate speedo and imo better handling.

See I heard about that issue, when people go to 18 inch wheels the speedo is off. That would annoy me honestly ...
