I'm running similar set up but with a narrower TE37 wheel and tire. I'm using 20mm and 25mm. You will like 5-10mm on front and 10-15mm on the rear.

Looking good!

Of course, these are Volk LE37's and I had them completely refinished last summer. They are near flawless. I'm also considering a trade or just selling them outright to get something else. While I love them to death there are some others I'd like to try. So many decisions

Thanks for that. I will look at those options. The back doesn't need much and doesn't bother me nearly as bad as the front. It's funny how when I first got the wheels I loved the look as is but over time I've grown to resent not having +12's. Oh well, it's all part of the process of loving and modding our cars. I guess.

I'm also thinking of dropping it a bit more in the back but as it is the height is just right considering how many big speed bumps there are in my area. I rarely ever scrape but it's always VERY close.

I will try to get a picture... dual exit single canister. Ok sounds vague, like the
stock system but a true dual exhaust an x pipe and two pipes going into the
muffler straight thru design. I got lucky with the price. they go for more similar
to a borla or magnaflow.

Seemed fitting since I'm always asked why I took the tint off.

Also gave it a full detail just in time for a week of non stop rain.
